| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Organisms | get the energy they need from food. |
| Cellular respiration | the process that releases energy from food in the presence of oxygen. |
| Photosynthesis removes.. | carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and cellular respiration put it back. |
| Photosynthesis releases.. | oxygen into the atmosphere, and cellular respiration uses that oxygen to release energy from food. |
| Calorie | the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius. |
| Aerobic | Pathways of cellular respiration that require oxygen. ("in air.") |
| Anaerobic | Glycolysis. ("without air.") |
| What happens during glycolysis? | 1 molecule of glucose, a 6-carbon compound, is transformed into 2 molecule of pyruvic acid, a 3-carbon compound. |
| What happens during the Krebs cycle? | a pyruvik acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy-extracting reactions. |
| What does the electron transport chain use? | high energy electrons from glycosis and the Krebs cycle to convert ADP into ATP. |
| What does the glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain release together? | about 36 molecules of ATP per molecule of glucose. |
| Glycolysis | the first set of reactions in cellular respiration. "Sugar-breaking." |
| NAD+ | nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. |
| Krebs cycle | the second stage of cellular respiration. It is named after Hans Krebs, a British biochemist who demonstrated its existence in 1937. |
| Matrix | the innermost compartment of the mitochondrion and the site of the Krebs cycle reactions. |
| What happens in the absence of oxygen? | fermentation releases energy from food molecules by producing ATP. |
| What does the body use for quick bursts of energy? | It uses ATP already in muscles as well as ATP made by lactic acid fermentation. |
| What is the only way to continue to exercise longer than about 90 seconds? | Cellular respiration is the only way the continue generating a supply of ATP. |
| Fermentation | The combined process of this* pathway and glycosis. *that makes it possible to continue to produce ATP without oxygen, |
