Biology Vocab 3

Question 1

Electron Transport Chain

Answer 1

a series of 4 protein complexes that couple redox reactions, transfers electrons from their donors to their accpetors

Question 2

Alcoholic Fermentation

Answer 2

glycolosis followed by the reduction of pyruvate to ethyl alcohol, regenerating NAD+ and releasing CO2

Question 3

Lactic Acid Fermentation

Answer 3

glycolysis followed by the reduction of pyruvate to lactate, regeneration NAD+

Question 4

Mitochondrian

Answer 4

an organelle in eukaryotic cells where cellular respiration occurs. Enclosed by two membranes, it is where most of the cell’s ATP is made

Question 5

Aerobic

Answer 5

a process that requires the presence of Oxygen or air as opposed to anaerobic process that doesn’t require it

Question 6

Anaerobic

Answer 6

a process that doesn’t require the presence of Oxygen or air

Question 7

Glycolysis

Answer 7

a series of reactions that ultimately splits glucose into two molecules of pyruvate; the first stage of cellular Respiration in all organisms; occurs in the cytoplasm

Question 8

Krebs Cycle

Answer 8

a chain of reactions occurring in the mitochondria. through which almost all living cells produce energy in aerobic respiration
