Catabolism
Metabolic pathways that break down molecules, releasing energy.
oxygen dept
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.
FAD
electron carrier produced during the Krebs cycle
Glycolysis
series of electron carrier proteins that shuttle high-energy electrons during ATP-generating reactions
substrate-level phosphorylation
The enzyme-catalyzed formation of ATP by direct transfer of a phosphate group to ADP from an intermediate substrate in catabolism.
Cell organelle that converts the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use
Completes the breakdown of glucose by oxidizing a derivative of pyruvate to carbon dioxide.
NAD+
electron carrier involved in glycolysis
Anaerobic
Process that does not require oxygen
prepartory reaction
parent drug more polar metabolite
Anabolism
Cytochromes
proteins that play a key role in electron transport chains in mitochondria and chloroplasts
cellular respiration
Process that requires oxygen
the entry compound for the citric acid cycle in cellular respiration, formed from a fragment of pyruvate attached to a coenzyme
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.
