| Active transport | movement of substances (proteins) and (energy from ATP) |
| Sodium Potasium pump | active transport tool that moves sodium and potasium (ions) in and out of a cell |
| Aerobic cellular respiration | reaction side by side with oxygen. releases energy stored in glucose |
| Anaerobic cellular respiration | reactions without oxygen, still releases energy stores in glucose |
| Glycolysis | inside the cytoplasm! glucose is broken down into 2 pyruvate molecules |
| Mitochondrian | eukaryotic cell where aerobic resp takes place |
| Mito matrix | fluid inside Mito |
| Intermembrane space | fluid between inner and outer mito membranes |
| Krebs Cycle | transfers energy from organic molecules to ATP.NADH,and FADH2 and takes away carbon atoms as CO2 |
| oxidative ATP synth | making ATP from oxy reactions |
