10276658373 | aerobic | Chemical reactions that require the presence of oxygen | ![]() | 0 |
10276658375 | anaerobic | process that does not require oxygen | ![]() | 1 |
10276658376 | ATP synthase | protein structure in cell mitochondria that uses energy from H+ ions to convert ADP to ATP | ![]() | 2 |
10276658377 | beta oxidation | reaction that converts fatty acid molecules to acetyl CoA. The CoA then enters the Krebs cycle to produce ATP energy | 3 | |
10276658378 | cellular respiration | Breaking down glucose to provide energy for the cell; occurs in the mitochondria in eukaryotes | ![]() | 4 |
10276658379 | chemiosmosis | the generation of ATP energy by the movement of hydrogen ions across a membrane during cellular respiration or photosynthesis | 5 | |
10276658382 | electron transport chain | A sequence of electron carrier molecules (membrane proteins) that shuttle electrons down a series of redox reactions that release energy used to make ATP. | 6 | |
10276658383 | facultative anaerobe | organism that can survive with or without oxygen | 7 | |
10276658384 | fermentation | a metabolic process that consumes sugar in the absence of oxygen. The products are organic acids, gases, or alcohol | 8 | |
10276658385 | glycolysis | a process by which glucose, a sugar, is broken down into smaller molecules | 9 | |
10276678824 | Krebs cycle | the sequence of reactions by which most living cells generate energy during the process of aerobic respiration. It takes place in the mitochondria, consuming oxygen, producing carbon dioxide and water as waste products, and converting ADP to energy-rich ATP. | ![]() | 10 |
