| alcoholic fermentation | process to convert pyruvic acid into ethyl alcohol |
| fermentation | combination of glycolysis plus additional pathways |
| lactic acid fermentation | enzyme converts pyruvic acid into another three-carbon compond, called latic acid |
| anaerobic pathways | operate in the absence of oxygen |
| pyruvic acid | a three carbon molecule that is the end product of glycolysis |
| NAD | an organic molecule that accepts electrons during redox reactions |
| kilocalorie | equals 1,000 calories |
| glycolysis | a pathway in which glucose is oxidized to pyruvic acid |
| cellular respiration | the process in which cells make ATP by breaking down organic compounds |
