Biology chapter 10 Flashcards
Amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius
Calorie
Process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen
Cellular respiration
Process that requires oxygen
Aerobic
Process that does not require oxygen
Anaerobic
First set of reactions in cellular respiration during which a molecule of glucose is broken into 2 molecules of pyruvic acid
Glycolysis
Electron carrier involved in glycolysis
NAD+
Second stage of cellular respiration in which pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy-extracting reactions
Krebs Cycle
Innermost compartment of the mitochondrion
Matrix
Process by which cells release energy in the absence of oxygen
Fermentation
Write the formula for cellular respiration in symbols
6O2+C6H12O6 yields 6CO2+6H20 + Energy
What are the 3 stages of cellular respiration
Glycolysis, Krebs cycle, Electron transport chain
What are the two types of fermentation
Lactic acid fermentation and Alcholic fermentation
