Unit 4: Cells And Energy - Cellular Respiration Flashcards
Aerobic
Way of using energy that requires oxygen
Acetyl Co-A
Step after glycolysis, break down of pyruvate
Anaerobic
Using energy that doesn’t require oxygen
Cristae
A crest or ridge
Ethanol
Produced by the fermentation of sugars by yeast
FADH2
Electron carrier produced through the Krebs cycle that goes through the electron transport chain
Fermentation
change brought about by a ferment, as yeast enzymes, which convert grape sugar into ethyl alcohol
Glycolysis
The first step in cellular respiration, produces net worth of 2ATP, 2NADH, H2O, and pyruvate
Krebs cycle
Cycle that turns two times and creates 6NADH, 2FADH2, and 2ATP
Lactate
produced during muscle contraction as a product of anaerobic glucose metabolism, abundant in sour milk, prepared usually by fermentation of cornstarch
Pyruvate
Formed form glycolysis, broken down in acetyl co-a (Krebs cycle of acetyl co-a not available)
NADH
Electron carrier
