Terms | Definitions |
|---|---|
 Glycolysis | Anaerobic process that occurs in the cytoplasm |
| Cytoplasm | Where does glycolysis occur |
| Fructose biphosphate | Very unstable molecule broken down into 2 G3P |
| Pyruvate | End product of glycolysis |
| Glycolysis profits | 2 ATP, 2 NADH, 2 Pyruvate |
| Substrate level phosphorylation | When phosphates are removed from a substrate to add ATP |
| Prep steps | Pyruvate is broken down in the mitochondria |
| Mitochondria | Where do the prep steps occur |
| Acetyl CoA | Molecule formed in prep steps by breaking down pyruvate |
| Prep steps profits | 2 NADH, 2 CO2, 2 Acetyl CoA |
| Kreb's Cycle/Citric Acid Cycle/TCA | Occurs in matrix of mitochondria and breaks down Acetyl CoA to produce energy |
| Citrate | Molecules formed by combination of oxaloacetate and Acetyl CoA after CoA is removed |
| Oxaloacetate | Combines with Acetyl CoA to form citrate |
| Kreb's Cycle/Citric Acid Cycle/TCA Profits | 4 CO2, 6 NADH, 2 FADH2, 2 ATP |
| Anaerobic Fermentation | Anaerobic process where NADH is transformed to NAD+ for glycolysis |
| Alcohol Fermentation | Anaerobic process where glucose is broken down into pyruvate, CO2 is released, pyruvate is broken down into acetaldehyde, NADH is transformed to NAD+, and ethanol is produced |
| Pyruvate | What glucose is broken down into |
| Acetylaldehyde | What pyruvate is broken down into to form ethanol |
| Ethanol | Final product of Alcohol Fermentation |
| Lactic Acid Fermentation | Anaerobic process where glucose is broken down into pyruvate, NADH becomes NAD+, and lactic acid is formed |
| Photosynthesis | Made process that produces glucose and oxygen gas for cellular respiration |
| Kreb's Cycle/Citric Acid Cycle/TCA and Electron Transport Chain | Require oxygen gas |
| 2 pyretic acid and 2 NADH molecules | most important outputs of glycolysis |
