| describes a process that does not require oxygen | anaerobic |
| the process in which pyruvic acid is broken down and NADH is used to make a large amount of ATP | aerobic respiration |
| the anaerobic breakdown of glucose pyruvic acid, which makes a small amount of energy available to cells in the form of ATP | glycolysis |
| the breakdown of carbohydrates by enzymes, bacteria, yeasts, or mold in the absence of oxygen | fermentation |
| the chemical breakdown of carbohydrates that produces lactic acid as the main end product | lactic acid fermentation |
| the anaerobic process by which yeasts and other microorganisms break down sugars to form carbon dioxide and ethanol | alcoholic fermentation |
