Glycolysis
Glycolysis requires this sweet molecule to begin.
What is glucose?
The Krebs cycle is located in this chamber of the mitochondria.
What is the mitochondrial matrix?
The electron transport chain occurs at this spot in the mitochondria.
What is the inner mitochondrial membrane?
Cellular respiration requires these two inputs.
What are glucose and oxygen?
This type of transport doesn't require any energy from the cell.
What is passive transport?
From ancient Greek, "glycolysis" literally translates to this.
What is sugar-breaking?
For every one glucose molecule broken down in glycolysis, the Krebs cycle is able to turn this many times.
What is twice?
During the ETC, H+ protons are pumped from the matrix to this chamber of the mitochondria, forming a concentration gradient.
What is the intermembrane space?
This organelle is the site of cellular respiration, and is called the powerhouse of the cell.
What is the Mitochondria?
Only water is capable of moving across a semi-permeable membrane by this process.
What is osmosis?
What is the cytoplasm/cytosol?
The Krebs cycle's main purpose is to collect electrons using these two molecules.
What are NADH and FADH2?
The electron transport chain produces this many ATP, vastly outperforming the Krebs cycle of glycolysis.
What is 30-32 ATP?
Mitochondria were originally independent organisms, according to this theory.
What is Endosymbiotic Theory?
What is equilibrium?
What is 2 Net ATP?
This waste product, formed during the Krebs cycle, is the first waste product formed in cellular respiration.
What is Carbon Dioxide (CO2)?
Electrons need somewhere to go in the ETC, so this molecule acts as the final electron acceptor.
What is Oxygen?
ATP, the cellular energy courier, is known by this longer name.
What is Adenosine Triphosphate?
Active transport is required to move particles against one of these.
What is a concentration gradient?
During glycolysis, glucose is broken down into two of these three-carbon molecules.
What is pyruvate?
What is the Citric Acid Cycle?
This enzyme turns like a water wheel, and recharges ADP to ATP as it does.
What is ATP Synthase?
When a cell is in a solution with much more solute outside the cell, the solution is said to be this, and water will exit the cell.
What is hypertonic?
When a cell engulfs a food particle with a vesicle, it is said to be doing this, which literally translates to "cell eating."
What is phagocytosis?
