What is glycosis?
|
Converts glucose into ATP and NADH
|
|
|
What is lactic acid fermentation?
|
sugars are converted into cellular energy and the metabolic product lactic acid
|
|
|
What is alcoholic fermentation?
|
Sigars are converted into cellular energy and thereby produce ethanol and carbon dioxide as metabolic waste products
|
|
|
What does the Krebs cycle do?
|
In aerobic organisms, the citric acid cycle is part of a metabolic pathway involved in the chemical conversion of carbohydrates, fats and proteins into carbon dioxide and water to generate a form of usable energy. Other relevant reactions in the pathway include those in glycolysis and pyruvate oxidation before the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation after it. In addition, it provides precursors for many compounds including some amino acids and is therefore functional even in cells performing fermentation.

what is the electron transport chain?
|
An electron transport chain couples a chemical reaction between an electron donor (such as NADH) and an electron acceptor (such as O2) to the transfer of H+ ions across a membrane, through a set of mediating biochemical reactions.
