Anaerobic
Process that does not require oxygen
prepartory reaction
parent drug more polar metabolite
substrate-level phosphorylation
proteins that play a key role in electron transport chains in mitochondria and chloroplasts
citric acid cycle
Completes the breakdown of glucose by oxidizing a derivative of pyruvate to carbon dioxide.
cellular respiration
Process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen
Fermentation
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
NAD+
electron carrier involved in glycolysis
FAD
electron carrier produced during the Krebs cycle
Acetyl CoA
Aerobic
Process that requires oxygen
Cell organelle that converts the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use
Anabolism
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
Catabolism
Metabolic pathways that break down molecules, releasing energy.
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.
