|
Cellular Respiration |
Aerobic pathway during which glucose is completely broken down to CO2 and H2O |
|
|
NAD+ & FAD+ |
becomes NADH and FADH2- in the absense of oxygen. |
|
|
Glycolysis |
The break down of glucose to two molecules of pyruvate, is a series of enzymatic reactions that occurs in the cytoplasm and is anaerobic. |
|
|
What does glycolysis do |
Releases enough engergy to give a net gain of two ATP and two NADH |
|
|
Fermentation |
Involves gltcolysis followed by the reduction of pyruvate by NADH either to lactate or to alcohol and carbon dioxide. |
|
|
What does fermentation do |
Frees NAD+ so that it can accept more hydrogen atoms from gylcolysis |
