Cellular Respiration

Information from Mr. Huffman's CAT science class about Cellular Respiration

AB
cellular respirationall chemical reactions that break down glucose and other food molecules and transfer the energy released to ATP
glycolysisbreaking down of glucose into two pyruvic acids and produces first step in respiration
Kreb's cyclecycle of breaking down pyruvic acid and other carbon-based molecules to release their energy and hydrogen
respitory chainchain on the cristae folds of mitochondria, releases energy of hydrogen
NAD and FADhydrogen energy carriers
aerobicrespiration that uses enzymes and oxygen to break down pyruvic acids, includes Kreb's cycle
anaerobicuses enzymes that break down pyruvic acids without oxygen, includes fermentation and glycolysis
ethyl alcohol2 C2H5OH
Alcoholic fermentationanaerobic respiration that yields ethyl alcohol, carbon dioxide, and energy
glucoseC6H12O6
lactic acid2 C3H6O3
lactic acid fermentationbreaks down glucose into lactic acid and energy, occurs in some microbes and muscle cells
mitochondriasausage-shaped organelles, places where molecules derived from glucose react with oxygen to produce the cell's energy
metabolismcell's process of deriving energy from its surroundings
