Cellular Respiration Flashcards
Ribose
Sugar in ATP
Phosphate Group
Molecule that keeps getting kicked off and back on
Oxidation
the molecule that loses 1 or more electrons
Cellular Respiration
Process that releases energy from food in the presence of oxygen
Matrix
Space inside the inner membrane
Glucose
Monosaccharides, ring structre, simple sugar
ADP
Adenosine Diphosphate, energy released into cell
NAD and FAD
Electron Carriers
Cristae
Folds in the membrane
Reduction
the molecule that gains 1 or more electrons
ATP
Adenosine Triphosphate
Chemical Energy
energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds
Aerobic Respiration
Pathways of Cellular Respiration that require oxygen
Anaerobic Respiration
Process that does not require energy
Mitochondria
Membrane bound organelles that generate most of the chemical energy
