| 101363417 | catabolism | breakdown of more complex substances into simpler ones with release of energy | |
| 101363418 | aerobic respiration | cellular respiration that uses oxygen, sequentially releasing energy and storing it in ATP | |
| 101363419 | Anaerobic respiration | The use of inorganic molecules other than oxygen to accept electrons at the "downhill" end of electron transport chains. | |
| 101363420 | Fermentation | A catabolic process that makes a limited amount of ATP from glucose without an electron transport chain and that produces a characteristic end product, such as ethyl alcohol or lactic acid. | |
| 101363421 | Substrate-level phosphorylation | a process in which produces ATP. Occurs during glycolysis and the Krebs cycle. | |
| 101363422 | glycolysis | first step in releasing the energy of glucose, in which a molecule of glucose is broken into two molecules of pyruvic acid | |
| 101363423 | NAD+ | Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a coenzyme present in all cells that helps enzymes transfer electrons during the redox reactions of metabolism., (electron carrier involved in glycolysis) | |
| 101363424 | acetyl-CoA | the Krebs cycle begins and ends with _____, Forms when pyruvic acid reacts with the enzyme CoA | |
| 101363425 | Kreb's cycle | second stage of cellular respiration, in which pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy-extracting reactions | |
| 101363426 | electron-transport chain | Transfer of electrons from one to another- used to make ATP from Oxidation Phosphoralation | |
| 101363427 | chemiosmosis | An energy-coupling mechanism that uses energy stored in the form of a hydrogen ion gradient across a membrane to drive cellular work, such as the synthesis of ATP. Most ATP synthesis in cells occurs by chemiosmosis. | |
| 101363428 | ATP synthase | large protein that uses energy from H+ ions to bind ADP and a phosphate group together to produce ATP | |
| 101363429 | deamination | removal of the amino radical from an amino acid or other amino compound | |
| 101363430 | beta-oxidation | breaks fatty acids into 2 carbon fragments which become acetyl CoA and enter the Kreb's cycle | |
| 101363431 | ethanol fermentation | A type of yeast anerobic metabolism in which pyruvate is converted into ethanol and carbon dioxide for the purpose of regenerating NAD+ to keep glycolysis going and at least yield 2 net ATP. | |
| 101363432 | lactic acid fermentation | series of anaerobic chemical reactions in which pyruvic acid uses NADH to form lactic acid and NAD+, which is then used in glycolysis; supplies energy when oxygen for aerobic respiration is scarce |
