Biology Pre-Ap Chapter 9

Front 1

Process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen.

Back 1

Cellular Respiration

Front 2

First step in releasing the energy of gluscose, in which a molecule of glucose is broken into two molecules of pyruvic acid.

Back 2

Glycolysis

Front 3

Amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius.

Back 3

Calorie

Front 4

A series of proteins in which the high-energy electrons from the Krebs Cycle are used to convert ADP into ATP.

Back 4

Electron Transport Chain

Front 5

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide:

Electron Carrier involved in glycolysis.

Back 5

NAD+

Front 6

Process by which cells release energy in the absence of oxygen.

Back 6

Fermentation

Front 7

Process that does not require oxygen.

Back 7

Anaerobic

Front 8

Second stage of cellular respiration, in which pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy-extracting reactions.

Back 8

Krebs Cycle

Front 9

Process that requires oxygen.
