Mod 4: Ch 6-Releasing Chemical Energy Flashcards
Oxygen-requiring cellular respiration. Includes glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and electron transfer phosphorylation.
Aerobic Respiration
Involving or requiring the presence of oxygen.
Aerobic
Any of several pathways that break down organic molecules (typically glucose) to form ATP and include an electron transfer chain.
Cellular Respiration
Occurring in (or requiring) the absence of oxygen.
Anaerobic
Any of several anaerobic pathways that break down organic molecules (typically glucose) to produce ATP without the use of an electron transfer chain.
Fermentation
Set of reactions that collectively convert one molecule of glucose to two molecules of pyruvate, two ATP, and two NADH. First part of fermentation and aerobic respiration.
Glycolysis
Cyclic Pathway that dismantles acetyl-CoA to produce CO2, NADH, FADH2, and ATP.
Citric Acid (Krebs) Cycle
Fermentation pathway that produces ATP, ethanol, and CO2.
Alcoholic Fermentation
Fermentation pathway that produces ATP and lactate.
Lactate Fermentation
