Chapter 6 Vocab

Question 1

The aerobic harvesting of energy from food molecules; the energy-releasing chemical breakdown of food molecules, such as glucose, and the storage of potential energy in a form that cells can use to perform work; involves glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation and the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation (the electron transport chain and chemiosmosis)

Answer 1

Cellular Respiration

Question 2

A chemical reaction in which electrons are added to another element

Answer 2

Redox Reaction

Question 3

A chemical reaction in which electrons are removed from an element.

Answer 3

Oxidation Reaction

Question 4

NADH after oxidation reaction.

Answer 4

NAD+

Question 5

series of electron carrier molecules that shuttle electrons during a series of redox reactions that release energy used to make ATP; located in the inner membrane of mitochondria, the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts, and the plasma membranes of prokaryotes.

Answer 5

Electron transport chain

Question 6

The first step of cellular respiration that occurs in cytosol of the cell, it break glucose in to two pyruvate acid.

Answer 6

Glycolysis

Question 7

Also called citric acid cycle, occur in the mitochondria of the cell, pyruvate acid is oxidized into a two carbon compound.

Answer 7

Pyruvate oxidation

Question 8

Involves electron transport known as chemiosmosis.

Answer 8

Oxidative phosphorylation
