| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| NADH | An electron carrier, donates electrons in cellular processes |
| NAD+ | An electron carrier, accepts electrons in cellular processes |
| FADH2 | An electron carrier,donates electrons in cellular processes |
| FAD+ | an electron carrier, accepts electrons in cellular processes |
| active transport | the movement of substances through a membrane against a concentration gradient using membrane-bound carrier proteins and energy from ATP |
| sodium-potassium pump | an active-transport mechanism that pumps sodium and potassium ions into and out of a cell |
| aerobic cellular respiration | The set of reactions that takes place in the cell in the presence of oxygen and releases energy stored in glucose |
| anaerobic cellular respiration | the set of reactions that takes place in the cell in the absence of oxygen and releases energy stored in glucose |
| glycolysis | a process for harnessing energy in which a glucose molecule is broken into two pyruvate molecules in the cytoplasm of a cell |
| mitochondrion | a eukaryotic cell organelle in which aerobic cellular respiration occurs |
| mitochondrial matrix | the fluid that fills the interior space of the mitochondrion |
| intermembrane space | the fluid-filled space between the inner and outer mitochondrial membranes |
| krebs cycle | a cyclic series of reactions that transfers energy from organic molecules to ATP,NADH, and FADH2,and removes carbon atoms as CO2 |
| oxidative ATP synthesis | the production of ATP from a series of oxidation reactions |
| alcohol fermentation | a form of fermentation occurring in yeast in which NADH passes its hydrogen atoms to acetaldehyde,generating carbon dioxide,ethanol, and NAD+ |
| lactic acid fermentation | a form of fermentation occurring in animal cells in which NADH transfers its hydrogen atoms to pyruvate,regenerating NAD+ and Lactic Acid |
| lactic acid threshold | the value of exercise intensity at which lactic acid production increases |
