|
releases only a small amount of energy. leads to two other pathways or followed by a different pathway
|
glycolysis
|
|
|
the process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen
|
cellular respiration
|
|
|
the equation for cellcular respiration is
|
6O2 + C6H1206 --> 6CO2+6H20+ENERGY
|
|
|
the process in which one molecule of glucose is broken in half, producing two molecules of pyruvic acid, a 3-carbon compound.
|
glycolysis
|
|
|
an electron carrier, accepts a pair of high energy electrons
|
NAD+
|
|
|
the main two types of fermentation
|
alcoholic and lactic acid
|
|
|
releases energy from food molecules by producing ATP in the absence of oxygen
|
fermentation
|
|
|
something that does not require oxygen. means "not in the air"
|
anaerobic
|
|
|
the equation for alcoholic fermentation after glycolysis
|
pyrivic acid + nADH --> alcohol + CO2 + NAD+
|
|
|
equation for lactic acid fermentation
|
pyruvic acid + NADH --> lactic acid + NAD+
|
|
|
pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy-extracting reactions
|
krebs cycle
|
|
|
pathways of cell respiration require oxygen, so they are
|
aerobic
|
|
|
uses the high-energy electrons from the krebs cycle to convert ADP into ATP
|
ETC
|
