250553151cellular respirationthe process of releasing energy from glucose
250553152mitochondriathis cell organelle carries out aerobic cellular respiration
250553153CO2chemical formula for carbon dioxide
250553154H2Ochemical formula for water
250553155C6H12O6chemical formula for glucose
250553156aerobic respirationglucose is broken down when it combines with oxygen
250553157anaerobic respirationglucose is broken down without oxygen
250553158anaerobic respirationLactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation are both examples of what?
250553159lactic acid fermentationprocess where ATP is produced when muscles run out of oxygen during vigorous activity
250553160alcohol fermentationprocess that causes bread dough to rise. (Yeast ferments, giving off carbon dioxide bubbles that form air spaces in slices of bread, alcohol evaporates when bread is baked)
250553161carbon dioxide and waterWhat are the products in cellular respiration (words)?
250553162glucose and oxygenWhat are the reactants in cellular respiration(words)?
2505531636CO2 + 6H2Oproducts in cellular respiration (formulas)
250553164C6H12O6 + 6O2reactants in cellular respiration (formulas)
250553165C6H12O6 + 6O2 yields 6CO2 + 6H2Oformula for cellular respiration
250580636Adenosine Tri-PhosphateATP is the abreviation for this
250580637ATPUniversal energy "currency" used by all cells.
250580638ATPProduct when energy is added to ADP + P
250580639ADP + Pproducts when energy is removed from ATP
250580640EnergyThe ability to do work
250580641Workmoving a mass for some distance in some amount of time
250580642PhosphateSubstance added to ADP to form ATP
250580643Electron CarrierMolecule that can transport energized electrons within the cell
250580644NAD+"Discharged" form of NADH (electron missing)
250580645NADH"Charged" form of NAD+ (electron added)
250580646NAD+when a hydrogen atom and an electron are removed from NADH
250580647NADHwhen a hyrdrogen atom and an electron are added to NAD+
250580648Glycolysis"Breaking sugar"
250580649Glycolysisprocess that results in 2 molecules of pyruvic acid, 2 ATPs, and 2 NADH
250580650GlycolysisFirst step in cellular respiration, takes place in the cytoplasm
250580651Citric Acid Cyclesecond step in aerobic cellular respiration, takes place in the matrix of the mitochondria.
250580652Citric Acid Cycleprocess of cellular respiration that produces CO2, NADH, and ATP from pyruvate
250580653Oxidative Phosphorylationthird step in aerobic cellular respiration, takes place on the inner membrane of mitochondria
250580654Oxidative Phosphorylationprocess of cellular respiration that takes in oxygen, produces water, NAD+ and 34 ATPs
250594216Krebs CycleAnother name for the citric acid cycle

250594220cytoplasmwhere glycolysis takes place
250594221inner membrane of mitochondriawhere oxidative phosphorylation takes place.
250594222electron transport chainanother name for oxidative phosphorylation
250594223aerobicany process that requires air (oxygen)
250594224anaerobicany process that does not require air (oxygen)
250594225anaerobic respirationbreakdown of glucose to make ATP without oxygen
250594226Fermentationanother term for anaerobic respiration
250647879lactic acidwaste product produced in human cells when pyruvate is broken down anaerobically
250647881alcohol + CO2waste products produced in yeast cells when pyruvate is broken down anaerobically
