Term | Definition |
glycolysis | the first step of cellular respiration that breaks down the glucose molecule in the cytoplasm |
ATP | energy |
aerobic and anaerobic | the two types of cellular respiration |
alcoholic and lactic acid | the two types of fermentation |
alcoholic fermentation | done by yeasts and bacteria to produce ethyl alcohol, carbon dioxide, and 2 ATP |
36 ATP | the total ATP produced from cellular (aerobic) respiration |
aerobic respiration | the type of cellular respiration that requires oxygen |
anaerobic respiration | the type of cellular respiration that does NOT require oxygen |
mitochondria | the site of cellular respiration to produce ENERGY |
glycolysis, Kreb cycle, and electron transport chain | Steps of aerobic respiration |
glycolysis and fermentation | steps of anaerobic respiration |
cellular respiration | the breakdown of glucose to produce energy |
autotrophs and heterotrophs | type of organism(s) that do cellular respiration |
autotrophs | only type of organism that can do photosynthesis |
heterotrophs | the organism can ONLY do cellular respiration |
carbon dioxide, water, and ATP | products of cellular respiration |
oxygen and glucose | reactants of cellular respiration |
lactic acid | fermentation that produces muscle soreness |
chloroplast | site of photosynthesis |
Kreb Cycle | the second step of cellular respiration that makes 2 ATP and carbon dioxide |
Electron Transport Chain | the third step of cellular respiration that makes 34 ATP molecules |
