Cellualar Respiration Flashcards
Compound formed between glucose and pyruvic acid
Intermediate (G3p
Not involved in glycolysis
Oxygen
Fuel molecule broken down in glycolysis
Glucose
Produced by substrate level phosphorylation
Atp
Invested to energize glucose molecule at start of process
Atp
Reduced as glucose is oxidized
NAD+
Glucose converted to two molecules of this
Pyruvic acid
Assembled to make atp
ADP and P
Splitting of sugar
Glycolysis
Carries hydrogen and electrons from oxidation of glucose
NADH
___ anaerobes can make their ATP by fermentation or aerobic respiration
Facultative
___ is an organism that normally uses aerobic respiration to produce ATP, but it can generate ATP without oxygen via alcoholic fermentation
Yeasts
Fermenters replenish their supply of NAD+ by using NADH to oxidize
Pyruvic acid
When oxygen is scarce human muscle cells can make atp by
Lactic acid fermentation
Fermentation enables cells to make ATP in the absence of
Oxygen
