|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| cellular respiration | the process by which cells produce energy from carbohydrates; atmospheric oxygen combines with glucose to form water and carbon dioxide
🗑
|
||||
| pyruvic acid | the three-carbon compound that is produced during glycolysis and needed for both the aerobic and anaerobic pathways of cellular respiration that follow glycolysis
🗑
|
||||
| NADH | the reduced form of NAD+; an electron-carrying molecule that functions in cellular respiration
🗑
|
||||
| anaerobic | describes a process that does not require oxygen
🗑
|
||||
| aerobic respiration | if oxygen is present in the cell's environment, pyruvic acid is broken down and NADH is used to make a large amount of ATP through the process
🗑
|
||||
| glycolysis | the anaerobic breakdown of glucose pyruvic acid, which makes a small amount of energy available to cells in the form of ATP
🗑
|
||||
| NAD+ | nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, an organic molecule that serves as an electron carrier by being oxidized to NAD+ and reduced to NADH
🗑
|
||||
| fermentation | the breakdown of carbohydrates by enzymes, bacteria, yeasts, or mold in the absence of oxygen
🗑
|
||||
| lactic acid fermentation | the chemical breakdown of carbohydrates that produces lactic acid as the main end product
🗑
|
||||
| alcoholic fermentation | the anaerobic process by which yeasts and other microorganisms break down sugars to form carbon dioxide and ethanol
🗑
|
||||
| kilocalorie | a unit of energy equal to 1,000 cal
🗑
|
||||
| mitochondrial matrix | the fluid that is inside the inner membrane of a mitochondrion
🗑
|
||||
| acetyl CoA | acetyl coenzyme A, a compound that is synthesized by cells and that plays a major role in metabolism
🗑
|
||||
| Krebs Cycle | a series of biochemical reactions that convert pyruvic acid into carbon dioxide and water; it is the major pathway of oxidation in animal, bacterial, and plant cells, and it releases energy
🗑
|
||||
| oxaloacetic acid | a four-carbon compound of Krebs cycle that combines with acetyl CoA to form citric acid
🗑
|
||||
| citric acid | a six-carbon compound formed in the Krebs cycle
🗑
|
||||
| FAD | flavin adenine dinucleotide, a compound that acts as a hydrogen acceptor in dehydrogenation reactions
🗑

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
