6026819915Cellular RespirationThe process that releases energy (ATP) by breaking down glucose. (converts food molecules (glucose) into a form usable (ATP) by the organism)0
6026819916Aerobic respirationConverting glucose into ATP in the presence of oxygen. Glycolysis, Kreb's cycle, ETC, total of 36-38 ATP, Location: mitochondria1
6026819917Anaerobic RespirationConverting glucose into ATP without the presence of oxygen. Glycolysis only, Net ATP=2, Location: cytoplasm2
6026819918Alcoholic FermentationType of anaerobic respiration used by organisms such as yeast to recycle products of glycolysis. Alcohol and Carbon Dioxide made, NO additional ATP made. Used in making beer, bread and wine3
6026819919Lactic Acid RespirationType of anaerobic respiration used by organisms such as bacteria to recycle products of glycolysis. Lactic acid made, NO additional ATP made. Used in making cheese and yogurt4
6026819920GlycolysisFirst stage of anaerobic AND anaerobic cellular respiration. Breaks glucose down into two pyruvic acid molecules, net gain of 2 ATP.5
6026819921ATPAdenosine triphosphate. Energy.6
6026819922Pyruvate3 carbon sugar produced when glucose is split during glycolysis7
6026819923MitochondriaOrganelle found in all organisms that is the site of aerobic cellular respiration8
6026819924ATP synthaseProtein that helps make ATP9
6026819925Krebs CycleStep in aerobic respiration that takes pyruvate from glycolysis to produce carbon dioxide and high energy electrons. Takes place in mitochondria. Net gain of 2 ATP.10
6026819926Electron Transport ChainStep of aerobic respiration that take the high energy electrons from the Krebs cycle to change ADP to ATP. 34 ATP is made11
6026819927Anaerobic RespirationDoes not use oxygen12
6026819928Aerobic RespirationUses oxygen13
6026819929FermentationWhen oxygen is NOT present in anaerobic cellular respiration.14
6026819930GlycolysisThe first step of cellular respiration15
6026819931CytoplasmPlace where cells perform glycolysis16
6026819932Krebs Cycle and Electron Transport ChainProcesses occurring in the Mitochondria Steps 2 and 3 of Cellular Respiration.17
6026819933Definition of Cellular RespirationThe process of breaking the chemical bonds of glucose into energy.18
6026819934Cellular Respiration Chemical EquationC6H12O2 + 6O2 ------> 6CO2 + 6H20 + Energy (ATP)19
