| 6369070472 | Biochemical Pathway | A series of chemical reactions in which the product of one reaction is consumed in the next reaction. For example, NADH is produced in the Kreb's Cycle and then utilized in the Electron Transport Chain |  | 0 |
| 6369085779 | ATP | Molecule used for cellular energy to maintain homeostasis and work |  | 1 |
| 6369091070 | Fermentation | A process in which cells make a limited number of ATP by converting glucose into another organic compound such as lactic acid or ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide without the use of oxygen |  | 2 |
| 6369115142 | Electron Transport Chain | A series of protein molecules that transports electrons and protons through the inner membrane of the mitochondria. In the process the energy is used to: 1-pump protons into the inner membrane space, 2-generate ATP as H+ move through ATP synthase |  | 3 |
| 6369143752 | Chemiosmosis | A process of ATP generation. The movement of electrons down an electron transport system is used to pump hydrogen ions across a membrane, thereby building up a concentration gradient of hydrogen ions across the membrane. The hydrogen ions diffuse back across the membrane through the pores of a ATP synthesizing enzymes. The energy of their movement down their concentration gradient drives ATP synthesis. |  | 4 |
| 6369157439 | ADP (adenosine diphosphate) | Resulting molecule when ATP removes a phosphate group and releases energy. |  | 5 |
| 6369168000 | ATP synthase | An enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of ATP from ADP and phosphate by catalyzing the linking together of the two molecules |  | 6 |
| 6369174757 | Reactant | A compound or atom involved in a chemical reaction |  | 7 |
| 6369180687 | Product | A compound formed by a chemical reaction |  | 8 |
| 6369185032 | Glycolysis | A pathway not requiring oxygen (but can proceed when oxygen is present) in the cytoplasm in which glucose is broken down into 2 pyruvate, 2 NADH, and 4ATP (net gain of 2 ATP) |  | 9 |
| 6369195574 | Pyruvate | 3-carbon molecule that is the end product of glycolysis and that enters into the Kreb's Cycle |  | 10 |
| 6369206257 | Anaerobic Respiration | The process in which cells make ATP breaking down organic compounds without the use of oxygen |  | 11 |
| 6369212487 | Aerobic Respiration | The process in which cells make ATP by breaking down organic compounds, with oxygen as the final electron acceptor |  | 12 |
| 6369218890 | Cellular Respiration | The process in which cells make ATP by breaking down organic compounds -- in eukaryotes this process occurs in the mitochondria |  | 13 |
| 6369229442 | Kreb's Cycle (aka) Citric Acid Cycle | The second major step of cell respiration that occurs in the mitochondria. During the cycle, the break down of acetyl CoA occurs (2 Carbon compound) to form electron carriers 6 NADH & 2 FADH2 as well as producing 2 ATP and 4 carbon dioxide |  | 14 |
| 6369706807 | NAD+ and FAD | Electron carriers that will move electrons to the Electron Transport System for ATP production during chemiosmosis |  | 15 |
| 6369720611 | Lactic Acid Fermentation | The product formed in the cytosol of muscle cells and in some bacteria during fermentation (anaerobic fermentation) |  | 16 |
| 6370079485 | Alcoholic Fermentation | Type of cellular Respiration which does not require oxygen (anaerobic respiration), and involves the breaking down of pyruvate to ethanol and carbon dioxide. | | 17 |
| 6374507404 | Cytochrome | Series of proteins found in the inner membrane of the mitochondria that function as electron transfer agents during cellular respiration. | | 18 |
| 6374525511 | matrix | The fluid filled enzyme rich area found within the inner membrane that is the site of the Kreb's Cycle. |  | 19 |
| 6374596920 | NAD+ / NADH | Nictinamide adenine dinucleotide, A coenzyme that can accept an electron and acts as an electron carrier in the electron transport chain |  | 20 |
| 6374612011 | FAD /FADH2 | Flavin adenine dinucleotide, or FADH2 that is created during the Krebs cycle and utilized during the last part of respiration, the electron transport chain. |  | 21 |
