calorie | the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 Celsius degree |
Calorie | Also called a kilocalorie, used to measure the amount of energy in food. |
cellular respiration | the process that releases energy by breaking down food molecules in the presence of oxygen; made up of glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain |
glycolysis | the first step in releasing the energy of glucose, occurs in the cytoplasm and makes 2 ATP |
Krebs cycle | the second stage of cellular respiration, in which carbon dioxide is produced as well as 2 ATP |
electron transport chain | the second stage of cellular respiration in which the Oxygen is used to make 32 ATP |
ATP | The high energy molecule used as an energy source by cells. |
ADP | The lesser energy molecule that can be "recharged" into ATP |
