WSHS - Biology Unit 5 Cellular Respiration Terms Mabe/Smith/Tedder
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| NAD/FAD | the electron carriers |
| Calories | how the amount of energy in foods is measured |
| Aerobic | the chemical process that requires oxygen |
| Anaerobic | the chemical process that does not require oxygen |
| Cellular respiration | the process that releases energy to form ATP by breaking down food molecules |
| Glycolysis | the step that involves the splitting of glucose into pyruvic acid |
| Krebs cycle | the step that involves the splitting of pyruvic acid to form ATP |
| Glucose | the product of photosynthesis; it is also broken down during cellular respiration |
| Fermentation | lactic acid and ethyl alcohol are both types of this |
| CO2 | a waste or by-product of cellular respiration |
| Lactic acid | the end products of lactic acid fermentation |
| Ethyl alcohol and CO2 | the end products of alcoholic fermentation |
| 2 | the net gain of ATP from glycolysis |
| 38 | the net gain of ATP from aerobic respiration |
| Cytoplasm | where in a cell the glucose first gets broken down |
| Mitochondria | where in a cell the pyruvic acid gets broken down |
| No oxygen required | what fermentation and glycolysis have in common |
| Electron transport chain | where ADP is converted into ATP during cellular respiration |
