| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| aerobic respiration | type of cellular respiration that requires oxygen |
| anaerobic respiration | type of cellular respiration that does not require oxygen |
| glycolysis | first stage of cellular respiration in which glucose is split, in the absence of oxygen, to form two molecules of pyruvate (pyruvic acid) and two (net) molecules of ATP |
| Krebs cycle | second stage of aerobic respiration in which two pyruvate (pyruvic acid) molecules from the first stage react to form ATP, NADH, and FADH2 |
| alcoholic fermentation | type of anaerobic respiration that includes glycolysis followed by the conversion of pyruvic acid to ethanol and carbon dioxide and the formation of NAD+ |
| fermentation | type of anaerobic respiration that includes glycolysis followed by the conversion of pyruvic acid to one or more other compounds and the formation of NAD+ |
| lactic acid fermentation | type of anaerobic respiration that includes glycolysis followed by the conversion of pyruvic acid to lactic acid and the formation of NAD+ |
