|---|---|
| cellular respiration | C6H1206->CO2 + H20+ ENERGY (released) goal is to create ATP occurs in all living things |
| fermentation | process by which cells release energy in the absence of oxygen; lactic acid or alcoholic |
| glycolysis | process in which all cells split sugar to release energy in the form of ATP |
| mitochondria | membrane-bound organelle in eukaryotic cells where ATP is generated |
| aerobic | process that requires oxygen |
| anaerobic | process that does not require oxygen |
| ATP | (adenosine triphosphate) main energy source that cells use for most of their work |
| metabolism | All of the chemical reactions that occur within an organism |
| matrix | innermost compartment of the mitochondrion; where the Krebs cycle occurs |
| cristae | folds in the mitochondria that increase the surface area and therefore its ability to produce ATP; where the ETS occurs |
