Biology Vocab - Cellular Respiration

AB
glycolysisthe breaking apart of one glucose molecule into two pyruvate molecules and making 2 ATP; the first stage of cellular respiration
cristaethe folded inner membrane of the mitochondria where the electron transport chain occurs and ATP is made
matrixthe liquid filled space between the folds of the inner membrane in the mitochondria where the Kreb's Cycle occurs
FADH2a molecule that carries high energy electrons only inside the mitochondria
NADHa molecule that carries high energy electrons from the cytoplasm into the mitochondria and within the mitochondria
electron transport chainthe process that moves energized electrons from one protein molecule to another on the cristae membrane to make ATP; the final stage of aerobic respiration
Kreb's Cyclethe process that breaks pyruvate down and produces carbon dioxide and energized electrons; the second stage of aerobic respiration
aerobic respirationcellular respiration that requires oxygen
anaerobic respirationcellular respiration that does not need oxygen
alcohol fermentationthe type of anaerobic respiration that produces ethanol and carbon dioxide as well as 2 ATP
lactic acid fermentationthe type of anerobic respiration performed by yogurt-making bacteria and human muscle cells which produces lactate and 2 ATP
