Term | Definition |
cellular respiration | the complex process in which cells make ATP by breaking down organics compounds |
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 | an electron carrier molecule |
anaerobic | describes a process that does not require oxygen |
aerobic respiration | the process when pyruvic acid is broken down and NADH is used to make a large amount of ATP |
glycolysis | a biochemical pathway in which one six-carbon molecule of glucose is oxidized to produce two three-carbon molecules of pyruvic acid |
NAD+ | an organic molecule that serves as a an electron carrier y being oxidized to NAD+ and reduced to NADH |
fermentation | the combination of glycolysis and these additional pathways, which regenerate NAD+ |
lactic acid fermentation | when an enzyme converts pyruvic acid made during glycolysis into another three-carbon compound called lactic acid |
alcoholic fermentation | a process used to convert pyruvic acid into ethyl alcohol |
kilocalorie | the unit the energy is often measured in |
