| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| ATP | Adenosine triphosphate, the primary energy currency of the cell. |
| Glycolysis | The first stage of cellular respiration where glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate. |
| citric acid cycle | Also known as the Kreb's Cycle, where pyruvate is further broken down to produce more ATP. |
| electron transport chain | The final stage of cellular respiration where most ATP is produced. |
| oxidative phosphorylation | the process that occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane, where electrons are transferred to oxygen to produce ATP. |
| NADH | A coenzyme that donates electrons for oxidative phosphorylation. |
| FADH | : A coenzyme that accepts electrons for oxidative phosphorylation. |
| Glycolysis products | The products of glycolysis, including pyruvate and NADH. |
| citric acid cycle products | The products of the citric acid cycle, including acetyl-CoA and NADH. |
| Acetyl- COA | Acetyl-CoA is a central molecule that links carbohydrate, fat, and amino acid metabolism, allowing the cell to generate energy from multiple nutrient sources. |
