Chapter 8b - Cell Energy Flashcards
Metabolic process that does not require oxygen
Anaerobic Process
Metabolic Process in which pyruvate is broken down and electron-carrier molecules are used to produced ATP through electron-transport.
Aerobic Respiration
Anaerobic PRocess; first stage of cellular respiration in which glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate
Glycolysis
Series of reactions in which pyruvate is broken down into carbon dioxide inside the mitochondria of cell; also called the tricarboxylic acid cycle and the citric acid cycle
Krebs Cycle
Process in which NAD+ is regenerated, allowing cells to maintain glycolysis in the absence of oxygen.
Fermentation
A metabolic process that requires oxygen
