Term Definition
cellular respiration metabolic reactions that use energy from carbohydrate or fatty acid or amino acid oxidation to produce ATP molecules; includes fermentation and aerobic respiration
fermentation the anaerobic breakdown of glucose that results in two ATP and products such as alcohol and lactate
pyruvate the end product of glycolisis; its further fate, involving fermentation or entry into a mitochondrion, depends on oxygen availability
glycolosis a pathway of metabolism converting glucose to pyruvate; resulting in a net gain of two ATP and two NADH molecules
oxygen debt the use of oxygen to metabolize lactate, which builds up due to anaerobic conditions
metabolic pool metabolites that are the products of and/or the substrates for key reactions in cells allowing one type of molecule to be change into another type, such as the conversion of carbohydrates to fats
electron transport a type of system whereby electrons are passed along a series of carrier molecules, releasing energy for the synthesis of ATP
aerobic type of process in which oxygen is required
Acetyl-CoA a molecule made up of a two-carbon acetyl group attached to coenzyme A; the acetyl enzyme enters the Krebs cycle for further oxidation
Krebs cycle a cycle of reactions in mitochondria that begins and ends with citric acid; produces CO2, ATP, NADH, and FADH2; also called the citric acid cycle
