cellular resperation
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| FADH2 | whereby it accepts two hydrogen atoms (a net gain of two electrons |
| FAD | flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) is a redox cofactor involved in several important reactions in metabolism |
| active transport | Active transport is the movement of a substance against its concentration gradient (from low to high concentration |
| sodium-potassium pump | sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphatase, also known as the Na+/K+ pump, sodium-potassium pump, or sodium pump, for short) is an enzyme located in the plasma membrane (to be specific, an electrogenic transmembrane ATPase) in all animals. |
| aerobic cellular resperation | Aerobes are organisms that use the Aerobic Cellular Respiration pathway. Aerobes require oxygen. |
| anaerobic cellular resperation | Anaerobes are organisms that use the Anaerobic Cellular Respiration pathway. Most (not all) anaerobes are bacteria. Anaerobes do NOT require oxygen. |
| glycolysis | an older term for glucose is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose C6H12O6, into pyruvate, |
| mitochondrion | In cell biology, a mitochondrion (plural mitochondria) is a membrane-enclosed organelle found in most eukaryotic cells |
