Chapter 6 Flashcards
Without oxygen
Anaerobic
Requiring oxygen
Aerobic
A protein cluster that uses the energy of hydrogen ion concentration to make ATP
ATP synthase
Organism that makes it’s own food
Autotroph
Acetyl CoA breaks down and supplies NADH and FADH electrons for electron transport chain
Citric Acid Cycle/Kreb Cycle
Glucose and oxygen turned into water and CO2, produces ATP, occurs in mitochondria
Cellular respiration
Organism that gets energy from eating other organisms
Consumer
Redox reaction where electrons are transferred onto carrier molecules
Electron transport
Carrier molecules shuttle electrons and release ATP
Electron transport chain
Anaerobic harvest of food by some microorganisms
Fermentation
Glucose is broken down into two pyruvic acid molecules
Glycolysis
Organism that cannot make it’s own food so it must take in nutrients from other organisms
Heterotroph
Loss of electrons from a substance in a redox reaction
Oxidation
Light and water turned into sugar and oxygen
Photosynthesis
Organism that makes it’s own food from carbon dioxide and water
Producer
