Cellular Respiration

Learn and review terminology/concepts introduced in this section

AB
cellular respirationharvesting of energy from sugar
aerobic respirationharvesting of energy from sugar in the presence of oxygen
anaerobic respirationharvesting of energy from sugar in the absence of oxygen
adenosine triphosphate (ATP)high erengy molecule that provides cells with immediate energy for work
redox reactionreaction in which electrons move from one molecule to another
oxidationthe loss of electrons from a molecule
reductionthe gain of electrons in a molecule
dehydrogenaseenzyme that removes hydrogens from a molecule
nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)organic molecule that transports electrons
electron transport chainseries of reactions that receive electrons and slowly releases energy to form ATP
glycolysisinitial respiration pathway converts glucose to pyruvate forming 2ATP net
Kreb's cyclesecond respiration pathway conversts pyruvate to CO2 releases electrons for oxidative phosphorylation
oxidative phosphorylationuses electrons/hydrogen from citric acid cycle to form ATP
chemiosmosispotential energy concentration gradient formed in mitochondria drives ATP formation
ATP synthasesenzyme in inner membrane of mitichondria that forms ATP
flavin adenine dinucleotideorganic molecule that along with NAD transports electrons
substrate level phosphorylationATP formation in glycolysis and citric acid cycle
glucosehigh potential energy nolecule at the start of respiration
pyruvatemolecule produced at end of glycolysis
acetyl CoAmolecule used to move carbons of pyruvate into the citric acid cycle
lactic acid fermentationanaerobic pathway converts pyruvate to lactic acid
alcohol fermentationanaerobic pathway converts pyruvate to ethanol and carbon dioxide
facultative anaerobeorganism that can derive energy both with oxygen or without oxygen if necessary
