7761679563FADH2Takes electrons to the ETC. Electrons have less energy.1
7761682619ATP SynthaseEnzyme that allows H+ to cross the membrane. Makes ATP.2
7761688320GlycolysisProcess in which Glucose is broken down into pyruvate.3
7761690561Kreb's CycleCyclic pathway in which Acetyl-CoA is broken down into CO2. Makes NADH, FADH2, and ATP4
7761704866ETCActively transports H+ ions across the membrane using energy from electrons. Results in the production of ATP by ATP Synthase.5
7761711052Aerobic RespirationType of respiration that requires oxygen. Runs glycolysis, kreb's cycle, and the ETC6
7761718745Anaerobic RespirationType of respiration that runs without oxygen. Runs Glycolysis only.7
