| Term | Definition |
| anaerobic(cytoplasm) | glycosis-->end products of pyruvate, lactate |
| aerobic | citric acid cycle, TCA Krebbs cycle-->end products co2, h2o |
| glycolysis | breakdown of glucose |
| process of glycolysis | activate glucose by adding phosphate grp(2 ATP);converts to triose 6C--> 2 3Cpyruvate and other converted |
| conversion to lactic acid | muscle;liver converts lactic back to glucose |
| conversion to acetyl CoA | combines w/ coenzyme A;releases and forms acetyl CoA;not reversible;used to make fatty acids or enter TCA cycle |
| TCA cycle(mitochondria/aerobic-O2 is available) | 2C acetyl CoA+4C oxaloacetate-->6C citric acid;loses 2C converts back to oxaloacetate;energy(ATP)=h2o created |
