Ch. 7 Flashcards
involving or occurring in the presence of oxygen
aerobic
oxygen-requiring cellular respiration
aerobic respiration
occurring in the absence of oxygen
anaerobic
pathway that breaks down an organic molecule to form ATP and includes an electron transfer chain
cellular respiration
anaerobic glucose-breakdown pathway that produces ATP without use of an electron transfer chain
fermentation
first stage of aerobic respiration and fermentation; set of reactions that convert glucose to two pyruvate for a net yield of two ATP and two NADH
glycolysis
three-carbon product of glycolysis
pryuvate
ATP formation by the transfer of a phosphate group from a phosphorylated molecule to ADP
substrate-level phosphorylation
cyclic pathway that harvests energy from acetyl-CoA; part of aerobic respiration
citric acid cycle
anaerobic sugar breakdown pathway that produces ATP, CO2, and ethanol
alcoholic fermentation
anaerobic sugar breakdown pathway that produces ATP and lactate
lactate fermentation
