chapter 10 - cellular respiration Flashcards
cell division
the division of a cell
cellular respiration
aerobic process of conversion that releases energy from food; used for exertion in human body past ~90s
glycolysis
separation of 1, 6 carbon glucose molecule to 2, 3 carbon molecule
calorie
amount of E needed to raise temp of 1 gram of water by 1 degree celsius
aerobic
pathways of cellular respiration which require O2; fast but not very much energy
anaerobic
pathways of cellular respiration which don’t need O2; slow and limited but very efficient
NAD+
nicotinamide adenine diphosphate; electron carrier
krebs cycle
pyruvic acid is broken down into C02 in a series of of reactions
krebs cycle
pyruvic acid is broken down into C02 in a series of of reactions
acetyl-CoA formation
1C from each pyruvate is replaced with CoA
electron transport chain
path of electrons along proteins on the inner membrane of a mitochondrion
fermentation
anaerobic process of using glucose to create ATP
alcoholic fermentation
creates ethanol and CO2 which helps make bread
lactate fermentation
used by some bacteria and creates lactic acid; in humans creates short term bursts of energy for ~90s or less of exertion
