Cellular Respiration and Fermentation

Terms in this set (17)

cellular respiration
Process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen
Glycolysis
The first step of cellular respiration, breaks glucose down into ATP, NADH, & Pyruvate
Location of Glycolysis
cytoplasm
products of glycolysis
pyruvate, 2 ATP, NADH
Anaerobic
Process that does not require oxygen
Aerobic
Process that requires oxygen
Krebs cycle
Second stage of cellular respiration, in which Pyruvate is broken down to provide energy for the next stage
Location of Krebs Cycle
matrix of mitochondria
Krebs cycle nickname
citric acid cycle
Products of Krebs Cycle
CO2, NADH, FADH2, ATP
Electron Transport Chain (ETC)
The last stage of cellular respiration where water and large amounts of ATP are produced
location of electron transport chain
inner membrane of mitochondria
Products of Electron Transport Chain
32-34 ATP molecules and water
Mitochondria
Organelle found in all organisms that is the site of cellular respiration
Fermentation
Process by which cells release energy in the absence of oxygen
alcohol fermentation
The conversion of pyruvate to carbon dioxide and ethanol, creating 2 ATP in the process. Only happens in the absence of Oxygen.
lactic acid fermentation
The conversion of pyruvate to lactic acid, creating 2 ATP in the process. Only happens in the absence of Oxygen.
