Chapter 9 Biology
| Lactic Acid Fermentation | process carried out by lactic acid bacteria when oxygen is not present |
| Alcoholic Fermentation | a type of cellular respiration which does not require oxygen and involves breaking down glucose to pyruvic acid and then finally ethanol |
| aerobic | pathways of cellular respiration that require oxygen |
| anaerobic | pathways of cellular respiration that do not require oxygen |
| calorie | the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius |
| cellular respiration | the process that releases energy from food in the presence of oxygen |
| glycosis | first set of reactions in cellular respiration in which a molecule of glucose is broken into two molecules of pyruvic acid |
| NAD+ | an electron carrier |
| Krebs cycle | pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy-extracting reactions. |
| matrix | the innermost compartment of the mitochondrion and the site of the Krebs cycle reactions |
| Where do organisms get energy? | from food |
| Cellular respiration equation | oxygen + glucose -> carbon dioxide +water + energy |
| What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration? | Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and cellular respiration puts it back. Photosynthesis releases oxygen into the atmosphere and cellular respiration uses that oxygen to release energy from food |
| What happens during the process of glycosis? | During glycosis, 1 molecule of glucose a 6-carbon compound, is transformed into 2 molecules of pyruvic acid a 3-carbon compound. |
| What happens during the Krebs cycle? | During the Krebs cycle the pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy-extracting reactions |
| How does the electron transport chain use high energy electron from glycosis and the Krebs cycle> | The electron transport chain uses the high energy electrons from glycosis and the Krebs cycle to convert ADP into ATP |
| Fermentation | process by which cells release energy in the absence of oxygen |
