Calorie
The first step in releasing the energy of glucose in which a molecule of glucose is broken into two molecules of pyruvic acid
Glycolysis
Electron carrier involved in glycolysis
NAD+
The process by which cells release energy in the absence of oxygen
Fermentation
The process that does not require oxygen
Anaerobic
The process that does require oxygen
Aerobic
The second stage of cellular respiration
Pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy- extracting reactions
Krebs cycle
A series of proteins in which the high energy electrons from the Krebs cycle are used to convert ADP into ATP
