How cells harvest chemical energy

''

AB
Aerobicoxygen containing
AnarobicOxygen lacking
Cellular respirationthe aerobic harvesting of energy from food molecules by cells
Redox reactionThe movement of electrons from one molecule to another is an oxidation-reduction reaction
Oxidationthe loss of electrons to another substance
Reductionthe addition of elctrons to another substance
Dehydrogenasea key enzyme for oxidation
NAD+nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, is an organic molcule that cells make from a vitamin and use to shuttle electrons in redox reactions
Electron Carrierdelivering its electron load
Electrom transport chainsordered groups of molecules are embedded in membranes in the eukaryotic cell's mitochondria
Chemiososiscells use potential energy in concentrated gradients to make ATP
ATP Synthasesprotein complexes that resid in membranes
Substrate-level phosphorylationan enzyme transfers a phosphate group from an organic substrate molecule to ADP
GlycolysisOccurs in the cytoplasm fluid of the cell, begins respiration by breaking down glucose into 2 molecules of a compoud called pyruvic acid
krebs Cycletakes place ithin the mitochondria, completes the breakdown of glucose by decomposing a derivative of pyruvic acid to carbon dioxide
IntermediatesThe compouds that form inbetween the initial reactant
Acetyl CoAa high-energy fuel molecule for the krebs cycle
Alcoholic Fermentationthe production of ethanol from glucose
Lactic acid fermentationlactic acid is produced when NADH from glyoclysis is oxidized
Strict Anaerobesrequire anaerobic conditions and are poisoned by oxygen
Facultative anaerobecan make ATp either by fermentation or by chemiosmosis depending on if O2 is avalible
