| Autotroph | An organism that uses the sun or oxidizes inorganic molecules to produce its own food |
| Heterotroph | An organism that obtains food by eating other organisms or their by products |
| Glucose | A simple 6-C monosaccharide that is turned into pyruvate during glycolysis |
| Pyruvate | 3-C no P produced in cytoplasm, the final product of glycolysis, 2molecules produced for every 1 molecule of glucose |
| Aerobic | In the presence of or requiring O2 |
| Anaerobic | A process requiring little or no O2 |
| Glycolysis | A biochemical process in which 1 glucose is anaerobically converted into 2 pyruvate w/a net gain of 2 ATP and 2 NADH |
| Krebs Cycle | A series of reactions following glycolisis in aerobic respiration that converts pyruvic acid to produce hydrogen, 2 CO2, 1 ATP, 3 NADH and 1 FADH |
| NAD | A coenzyme present in all cells that helps enzymes transfer electrons in redox rxns of cellular respiration |
| Acetyl-CoA | The entry compound for the Krebs cycle |
| ATP | Releases free energy when its phosphate bonds are hydrolyzed, end product of cellular respiration |
| FMN | Found on the cristae of the mitochndrion, 1st electron acceptor in electron chain, where NADH travels |
| Fermentation | A catabolic process that makes a limited amount of ATP from glucose w/o an ETS and procduces ethyl alcohol or lactic acid |
| Lactic Acid | A 3-C compound produced anaerobically, formed by the reduction of pyruvate |
| Ethyl Alcohol | A type of alcohol created in some types of fermentation |
| Mitochondrion | A n organelle in eukaryotic cells that serves as the site for cellular respiration |
| Cristae | The folded membranes inside a mitochondrion that serve as the electron transport system in cellular respiration |
| Matrix | Very inside of mitochondrian where the Krebs Cycle takes place |
| Electron Transport Chain | A group of electron-carrier molecules that shuttle electrons during the redox reactions that release energy to make ATP |
| Oxidation | Any reaction which removes electrons from a molecule or atom |
| Reduction | The gain of electrons by a molecule or an ion |
| Cellular Respiration | The most prevailant and efficient pathway for the production of ATP, in which O2 is consumed as a reactant and makes CO2 and H2Oout of food (glucose) |
| NADH | Moves 3 ATPs and 6 H ions during cellular respiration |
| Carbon Dioxide | Produced in Krebs Cycle as a waste product |
| CoQ | Part in the ETS where FADH travels and the 2nd electron acceptor in the ETS |
| FADH | Enters ETS at CoQ, produces 2 ATP and moves 4 H |
