Q

ATP

A

Adenosine triphosphate, or ATP for short, is the energy currency of life. ATP is a high-energy molecule found in every cell. Its job is to store and supply the cell with needed energy 3 phosphate

Q

Glycolysis

A

The breakdown of a 6 carbon sugar or carbohydrate to form 2, 3 carbon molecules called pyruvate acids. This reaction takes place in the cytoplasm with a net gain of 2 ATP’s

Q

Aerobic

A

(with oxygen) the breakdown of 2, 3 carbon molecules from glycolysis. This process requires oxygen and takes place in the mitochondria with a net gain of 34 ATP’s

17
Q

Fermentation

A

Glycolysis without oxygen and a net gain of 2 ATP’s

18
Q

Lactic Acid

A

3 carbon (pyruvate acids) + NADH ——> Lactic Acid + NAD+H (Makes muscles sore) Muscles can’t produce enough oxygen, go into overdrive, produce lactic acid

19
Q

Alcoholic fermentation

A

yeast sugar water without oxygen makes alcohol/ 3 carbon ( pyruvate acids) +NADH —-> Alcohol + CO2 + NAD+H

20
Q

Homeostasis

A

A balance within a system.

21
Q

The Law of Conservation of Mass/Energy

A

Matter can neither be created or destroyed. However, matter can be converted into energy or visa versa

22
Q

Chromotagraphy

A

a laboratory technique for the separation of a mixture. the separation of a mixture by passing it in solution or suspension or as a vapor (as in gas chromatography) through a medium in which the components move at different rates.
