| Term | Definition |
|---|
| Hydrogen Acceptors | release hydrogen in the electron transport chain |
| Glucose | 36 molecule of ATP are produced from this... |
| Electron Transport Chain | aerobic, pathway where NAD's and FAD's from glycolysis and the Krebs cycle are cashed in hydrogen to produce ATP, occurs in mitochondria |
| Electrons | pass through a series of enzymes located in the cristae of the mitochondria |
| NAD | hydrogen acceptor, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide |
| Citric Acid | first compound of Krebs Cycle |
| Pyruvic Acid | toxic to cell, must be processed as quickly as possible |
| Krebs Cycle | occurs in the mitochondria of the cell, aerobic |
| Cellular Respiration | the process of which cell release the energy in glucose and transfers it to ATP |
| Aerobic Respiration | requires air for cell respiration |
| Anaerobic Respiration | (without air), yeast converts sugar to alcohol and carbon dioxide, important to bakers |
| Glycolysis | occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell, produces 2 pyruvic acid |
| Lactic Acid Fermentation | cause of muscle cramping |
| Fructose | converted from glucose, and addition of two ATP's |
| Enzyme | catalyze the reactions in glycolysis |
| PGAL | phosphoglyceraldehyde |
| DPGA | diphosphoglyceric acid |
| FAD | hydrogen acceptor |
| ATP | 6 from glycolysis |
| Acetyl CoA | first step in the Krebs cycle |
