Chapter 6 Flashcards
Pathways that use an electron transfer chain to harvest energy from organic molecules and make ATP
Cellular Respiration
Cellular respiration that requires oxygen
Aerobic Respiration
Cellular respiration not using oxygen
Anaerobic Respiration
Involves or requires oxygen
Aerobic
Does not use electron transfer chains, is anaerobic
Fermentation
Anything that occurs in the absence of oxygen
Anaerobic
A series of reactions that produce ATP by converting one molecule of glucose to two molecules pyruvate
Glycolysis
Anaerobic pathway that converts pyruvate to ethanol and produces ATP
Alcoholic Fermentation
Anaerobic pathway that converts pyruvate to lactate and produces ATP
Lactate Fermentation
Fats, Carbohydrates, Proteins
Three main food sources of energy
Broken down into glycerol and fatty acids, richer source of energy than carbs
Fats
Broken down into monosaccharide monomers, eating this raises level of monosaccharides in blood, eating causes sugars to build triglycerides and acetyl-CoA builds fatty acids
Carbohydrates
Enzymes in digestive system break this source into amino acids subunits, cells use amino acids to build proteins and molecules
Proteins
Alcoholic and lactate
Two types of fermentation
