9424284872	fermentation	Process by which cells release energy in the absence of oxygen	0
9424284874	redox reactions	reduction and oxidation reactions drive each other	1
9424284875	reduction	gain of electrons (reduce the charge)	2
9424284876	oxidation	loss of electrons (increase the charge)	3
9424284877	respiration	oxidation of glucose to produce energy (ATP)	4
9424284879	krebs cycle	occurs in the mitochondrial matrix and generates a pool of chemical energy (ATP, NADH, and FADH2) from the oxidation of pyruvate, the end product of glycolysis.	5
9424284880	glycolysis	series of enzymatic reactions; one glucose is converted to 2 pyruvates	6
9424284881	ethanol	yeast cells convert pyruvic acid to _______ by alcoholic fermentation	7
9424284883	lactic acid	muscle cells convert pyruvic acid to ________	8
9424284884	substrate level phosphorylation	The formation of ATP by directly transferring a phosphate group to ADP from an intermediate substrate in catabolism.	9
9424284885	mitochondrial matrix	the fluid that is inside the inner membrane of a mitochondrion	10
9424284887	coenzyme A	A coenzyme that carries acetate from the link reaction of respiration to Krebs cycle.	11
9424284888	oxaloacetic acid	a four-carbon compound that combines with acetyl CoA in the Krebs cycle to produce citric acid	12
9424284889	citric acid	a six-carbon compound formed in the Krebs cycle	13
9424284891	NADH and FADH2	electron carriers	14
9424284892	cristae of mitochondria	location of electron transport chain	15
9424284896	ATP Synthase	Large protein that uses energy from H+ ions to bind ADP and a phosphate group together to produce ATP	16
9424284898	oxidative phosphorylation	The production of ATP using energy derived from the redox reactions of an electron transport chain; the third major stage of cellular respiration.	17
15238826603	citric acid cycle	Completes the breakdown of glucose by oxidizing a derivative of pyruvate to carbon dioxide.	18
15238834414	ADP	a lower-energy molecule that can be converted into ATP by the addition of a phosphate group	19
