| cellular respiration | process that burns glucose with oxygen to release ATP energy, CO2, & H2O |
| pyruvic acid | 3-carbon product of glycolysis that is poisonous to cells |
| NADH | hydrogen carrier molecule found in mitochondria |
| anaerobic respiration | respiration processes that do not involve oxygen |
| glycolysis | beginning of all cellular respiration activities when glucose splits |
| fermentation | anaerobic process that makes pyruvic acid into lactic acid or alcohol |
| lactic fermentation | fermentation found in human muscles that makes us sore |
| alcoholoic fermentation | process used by yeast to make CO2 & ethyl alcohol |
| mitochondrial matrix | space inside the inner membrane of the mitochondria |
| Kreb's cycle | biochemical pathway the breaks down acetyl CoA to produce CO2, NADH, & ATP |
| photosynthesis | process uses light to make glucose & oxygen from CO2 & H2O |
| light reactions | pigments in chloroplasts absorb light to split water and make ATP & NADPH |
| chloroplast | plant cell organelle in charge of photosynthesis |
| thylakoid | membranes in chloroplast where the light reaction occurs |
| granum | stacks of thylakoids in chloroplasts |
| stroma | the cytoplasm inside chloroplasts |
| chlorophyll | green pigment found in chloroplasts |
| electron transport chain | protein molecules in the thylakoids that transfer electrons from one molecule to the next |
