|
ETC |
The passing of electrons through protein channels on the inner membrane of the mitochondria to generate large amounts of ATP and water.
|
|
|
Glycolysis
|
An anerobic process in which glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate and two net ATP are produced.
|
|
|
Kreb’s Cycle
|
Process during cellular respiration that breaks down a carbon molecule to produce molecules that are used in the ETC and releases CO2..
|
|
|
Alcoholic Fermentation
|
An anaerobic process by yeasts and some bacteria that produces a small amount of ATP and produces ethanol as a by-product.
|
|
|
Lactic Acid Fermentation
|
An anaerobic process by human muscle cells that yields a small amount of ATP and produces an acid that makes muscles burn and feel sore.
|
|
|
Aerobic Respiration
|
Process requiring oxygen to brak down sugar including the Kreb’s Cycle and the ETC.
|
|
|
Anerobic Respiration
|
Process that does not require oxygen to break down sugar and includes glycolysis and fermentation.
|
|
|
Pyruvate
|
carbon molecule formed by the splitting of 6-carbon glucose in the cytoplasm of the cell during cellular respiration
|
|
|
Mitochondria
|
A bean shaped organelle that supplies the most energy for the cell by being the site of aerobic cellular respiration.
|
|
|
Matrix
|
An enzyme rich solution that fill the space inside the inner membrane of the mitochondria and is the site of the Kreb’s cycle of cellular respiration
|
|
|
Cristae
|
Folds in the inner membrane of the mitochondria and are the sites of the ETC
|
|
|
Ethanol
|
A by-product of the anaerobic fermentation process of yeast, fungi, and certain bacteria that makes bread rise and alcoholic beverages. |
