| process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen | ||
| electron carrier involved in glycolysis | ||
| process by which cells release energy in the absence of oxygen | ||
| process that does not require oxygen | ||
| process that requires oxygen | ||
| second stage of cellular respiration, in which pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy-extracting reactions | ||
| a series of proteins in which the high-energy electrons from the Krebs cycle are used to convert ADP into ATP |
