what is the hydrogen ion pump?
membrane protein that transports hydrogen ions through membranes.
hydrogen ion
positively charged hydrogen atom that has lost its electron.
lactic acid?
organic acid produced by the body during certain types of exercise
what is BTB or bromothymol blue?
a PH indicator
mitochondrion matrix
inside the inner membrane and helps cells produce energy and has its own DNA and ribosomes
glycolysis
breaks down glucose into smaller molecules called pyruvates. first step in CR to help provide energy
krebs cycle
2nd step in cellular respiration which occurs in the mitochondria.
what does krebs cycle convert into ATP
pyruvate
What is Acetyl CoA
important in cellular respiration which is how cells produce energy.
what is pyruvate?
it is produced during glycolysis. it can be converted into Acetyl CoA
what does it mean to be aerobic?
requires oxygen
