A | B |
Cellular Respiration | The process of making ATP from breaking down organic compounds |
Pyruvic Acid | A major product of Glycolysis |
NADH | An electron carrier molecule |
Anaerobic | A process of breaking down organic molecules when O2 is NOT present |
Aerobic Respiration | A respiration process that occurs when O2 is present and make a lot of ATP |
Glycolysis | The 1st stage of respiration that converts glucose to pyruvic acid |
NAD+ | Oxidized NADH; it accepts electrons |
Fermentation | A process that occurs when O2 is not present (alcoholic/lactic acid). |
Lactic Acid Fermentation | Fermentation that convertys pyruvic acid to lactic acid. |
Alcoholic Fermentation | Fermentation that converts pyruvic acid to ethyl alcohol and CO2. |
Kilocalories | A measurement of energy |
Mitochondrial Matrix | Space inside the mitochondrial inner membrane. |
Acetyl CoA | Pyruvic Acid is converted to this in the Kreb's Cycle. |
Oxaloacetic Acid | What acetyl CoA combines with to form Citric Acid. |
Citric Acid | A 6 carbon compound in the Kreb's Cycle. |
FAD | Oxidized FADH2 that accepts electrons. |
