| glycogen | branched polymer of glucose |
| glucose | blood sugar |
| glyc-olysis | glucose is broken down and oxidized to form pyruvate |
| glycogen-olysis | breakdown of glycogen to glucose |
| glycogen-esis | synthesis of glycogen from glucose |
| glyco-neogen-esis | synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate molecules |
| glucagon | hormone which raises blood glucose levels |
| insulin | hormone which lowers blood glucose levels |
| epinephrine | hormone which causes glycogen breakdown in muscle |
| liver | organ which regulates blood glucose levels |
| pancreas | organ which releases insulin and glucagon |
| lactate | reducing pyruvate in anaerobic conditions produces this compound |
| Cori cycle | process where glucose is converted to lactate in muscle and lactate is converted to glucose in liver |
| adrenal gland | gland which releases epinephrine |
| glucosuria | high blood sugar causes glucose excretion in urine |
| chemiosmotic hypothesis | protons flow across mitochondrial membrane and provide energy for ATP synthesis |
| oxidative phosphorylation | process where energy from E.T.C. is used to convert ADP to ATP |
| electron transport chain | series of reactions when NADH and FADH2 are oxidized to reduce oxygen |
| Krebs cycle | series of reactions where acetylCoA is oxidized to carbon dioxide and NAD+ and FAD are reduced |
| pyruvate oxidation | process where pyruvate is oxidized to acetylCoA |
