| glycolysis | The sequence of enzyme - catalyzed reactions that converts a six carbon glucose molecule into two three-carbon molecules of pyruvate |
| oxidative respiration | aerobic chemicals reactions that follow glycolysis and that produce large amounts of ATP |
| acetyl-CoA | Molecule derived from glucose and fatty acid metabilism; compound that enters the Krebs cycle |
| Krebs cycle | a cyclic biochemical pathway of cellular respiration that uses pyruvate from glycolysis, release CO2, and produces ATP, NADH, and FADH2 |
| fermintation | anaerobic halfway of cellular respiration that converts pyruvate to either lactic acid or Ethyl Alcohol or carbon dioxide |
| aerobic | metablic processes that require oxygen |
| anaerobic | metabolic processes that do not require oxygen |
| NADP+ | a coenzyme that carries hydrogen atoms and energy from one place to another in a cell |
| pyruvate | salt of pyruvic acid that is produced by the breaking down of glucose during glycosis |
| lactic acid | causes muscle cells to feel sore, if oxygen becomes available, it is converted back to pyruvate |
| cellular respiration | process by which living things obtain energy from the bonds of food molecules |
| Ethyl Alcohol + CO2 | when electrons from glycolysis are added to carbon molecule |
