Terms | Definitions |
|---|---|
 aerobic respiration | cellular respiration that requires oxygen |
| mitochondrial matrix | pyruvic acid that is produced in glycolysis diffuses across the double membrane; is the space inside the inner membrane of a mitochondrion, contains enzymes needed to catalyze the reactions of the Krebs cycle |
| acetyl CoA | reacts with pyruvic acid |
| krebs cycle | biochemical pathway that breaks down acetyl CoA producing CO2 hydrogen atoms and ATP |
| oxaloacetic acid | 4 carbon compound |
| citric acid | combines with oxaloacetic acid to create a 6carbon compound |
| FAD | molecule very similar to NAD+ and NADP+ in that it accepts electrons during redox reactions |
| electron transport chain | electron transport chain lines the cell membrane; ATP is produced by the electron transport chain when NADH and fADH2 release hydrogen atoms, regenerating NAD+ and FAD |
| cell respiration formula | C6H12O6 + 6O2 ---> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy |
