Fermentation
Aerobic
Acetyl CoA
NAD+
Process that does not require oxygen
oxygen dept
amount of oxygen requirement to oxidize lactic acid produced anaerobically during strenous muscle activity.
Glycolysis
citric acid cycle
Completes the breakdown of glucose by oxidizing a derivative of pyruvate to carbon dioxide.
FAD
electron carrier produced during the Krebs cycle
Chemiosmosis
Process by which a Hydrogen pump pumps protons into the thylakoid membrane. H+ passively flows through the ATP synthase which leads to the creation of ATP.
The enzyme-catalyzed formation of ATP by direct transfer of a phosphate group to ADP from an intermediate substrate in catabolism.
Metabolic pathways that break down molecules, releasing energy.
cellular respiration
Electron Transport Chain (ETC)
series of electron carrier proteins that shuttle high-energy electrons during ATP-generating reactions
parent drug more polar metabolite
Cytochromes
proteins that play a key role in electron transport chains in mitochondria and chloroplasts
Metabolic pathways that construct molecules, requiring energy.
Mitocondrion
Cell organelle that converts the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use
