| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| begins glucose metabolism in all cells and produces 2 molecules of a 3-carbon product pyruvate; occurs in the cytosol. | glycolysis |
| uses oxygen from the environment and completely converts each pyruvate molecule into 3 molecules of CO2. | cellular respiration |
| does not involve O2 and converts pyruvate into lactic acid or ethanol. | fermentation |
| links glycolysis and citric acid cycle; converts pyruvate to acetyl coA, producing 1 NADH with coenzyme A; occurs in the mitochondrial matrix. | pyruvate oxidation |
| completes the oxidation of glucose to CO2; yields 3 NADH, 1 FADH2, and 1 GTP; occurs in the mitochondrial matrix; | citric acid cycle |
| overall process of ATP synthesis resulting from the reoxidation of electron carriers in the presence of O2. | oxidative phosphorylation |
| flow of electrons from NADH and FADH2 that pass through a series of membrane-associated electron carriers, creating a proton concentration gradient between the intermembrane space and matrix; occurs in the inner membrane. | electron transport chain |
| diffusion of protons back into the mitochondrial matrix through a proton channel, which couples H+ movement to the synthesis of ATP. | chemiosmosis |
| organisms that use solar energy to synthesize food compounds. | autotrophs |
| organisms that obtain energy by processing the chemical energy in organic compounds. | heterotrophs |
| folds in the inner membrane of the mitochondria that increases surface area. | cristae |
| oxygen dependent pathway. | aerobic |
| oxygen independent pathway. | anaerobic |
| type of reaction that break down molecules. | catabolic |
| type of reaction that synthesize molecules. | anabolic |
| composed of a base (adenine), sugar (ribose) and a phosphate group that is used for "energy currency." | ATP |
| type of reaction that results in the "loss of electrons." | oxidation |
| type of reaction that results in the "gain of electrons." | reduction |
