______ is a partial degradation of sugars that occurs without O2 and yields ATP
Fermentation
Fermentation is a type of _____ respiration
Anaerobic respiration
______ respiration consumes organic molecules and O2 and yields ATP
Aerobic respiration
________ respiration includes both aerobic and anaerobic respiration but is often used to refer to aerobic respiration
Cellular respiration
Although carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are all consumed as fuel, it is helpful to trace cellular respiration with the ______
glucose
The transfer of ______during chemical reactions releases energy stored in organic molecules, particularly hydrogens
Electrons
Chemical reactions that transfer electrons between reactants are called oxidation-reduction reactions, or ______
redox reactions
In _______ a substance loses electrons, or is oxidized
Oxidation
In ______ a substance gains electrons, or is reduced (the amount of positive charge is reduced)
Reduction
The electron donor is called the ______
Reducing agent
The electron receptor is called the _____
