Glycolysis
In phase 1 of glycolysis, this happens to glucose.
What is broken into two 3-carbon molecules?
This is where the Krebs Cycle takes place.
What is the matrix of the mitochondrion?
The Electron Transport Chain takes place in this part of a mitochondrion.
What is the inner membrane?
This type of macromolecule contains the most energy per gram.
What is fats?
If oxygen is NOT present, this step of cellular respiration is followed by fermentation.
What is glycolysis?
Glycolysis produces this many net ATP.
What is 2 net ATP?
The Krebs Cycle is also called this, naming it after the first compound made in the cycle.
What is the Citric Acid Cycle?
In the Electron Transport Chain, these move electrons from one to the other.
What are cytochromes?
Organisms which make their own chemical energy are called this.
What are autotrophs?
Some organisms, such as yeast, can go through this kind of fermentation, which produces CO2 and ethyl alcohol.
What is alcoholic fermentation?
Glycolysis produces 2 of these electron carrier molecules.
What is 2 NADH?
Before entering the Krebs Cycle, pyruvic acid (pyruvate) must be converted into this molecule.
What is Acetyl CoA?
One outcome of the Electron Transport chain is that these ions are pushed across the inner membrane, creating a chemical gradient.
What are Hydrogen ions?
This is the basic measurement for a type of energy found in foods.
What is a calorie?
Fermentation may occur under this environmental condition.
What is anaerobic conditions (or when there is no oxygen)?
This enzyme helps break glucose in half.
What is PFK?
For each acetyl-CoA molecule which enters the cycle, this is the number NADH, FADH2, and ATP which are made.
What are 3 NADH, 1 FADH2, and 1 ATP?
This final protein in the electron transport chain produces the most ATP in cellular respiration by utilizing the H+ gradient.
What is ATP Synthase?
In the transition reaction, these are the numbers of CO2 and NADH which are released for both pyruvates.
What are two CO2 and 2 NADH?
In fermentation, this molecule is recycled and used again in glycolysis.
What is NAD+?
This is the name of the two 3 carbon molecules made at the end of glycolysis.
What is pyruvate?
This is the name of the molecule acetyl CoA combines with at the beginning of the Krebs Cycle.
What are oxaloacetate?
The electrons in the electron transport chain are accepted at the end by this molecule.
What is oxygen?
The transition reaction occurs in this part of the cell.
What is the mitochondrion?
In order to produce the most energy, cells normally undergo this process after glycolysis instead of fermentation.
What is aerobic respiration?
