amount of oxygen requirement to oxidize lactic acid produced anaerobically during strenous muscle activity.
electron carrier involved in glycolysis
Acetyl CoA
the entry compound for the citric acid cycle in cellular respiration, formed from a fragment of pyruvate attached to a coenzyme
substrate-level phosphorylation
The enzyme-catalyzed formation of ATP by direct transfer of a phosphate group to ADP from an intermediate substrate in catabolism.
citric acid cycle
Completes the breakdown of glucose by oxidizing a derivative of pyruvate to carbon dioxide.
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.
cellular respiration
Process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen
Cytochromes
Anaerobic
Process that does not require oxygen
Metabolic pathways that construct molecules, requiring energy.
Electron Transport Chain (ETC)
series of electron carrier proteins that shuttle high-energy electrons during ATP-generating reactions
FAD
electron carrier produced during the Krebs cycle
Aerobic
Process that requires oxygen
Catabolism
Mitocondrion
prepartory reaction
parent drug more polar metabolite
A metabolic process that breaks down carbohydrates and sugars through a series of reactions to either pyruvic acid or lactic acid and release energy for the body in the form of ATP
Fermentation
A catabolic process that makes a limited amount of ATP from glucose without an electron transport chain and that produces a characteristic end product, such as ethyl alcohol or lactic acid.
