BIG PICTURE
This is the general term for the breakdown of energy-rich molecules like glucose to obtain energy.
CELLULAR RESPIRATION
This 6-carbon sugar is the starting material for Glycolysis.
GLUCOSE
This is an alternate name for the Krebs Cycle based on the 6-carbon molecule formed in the first step.
CITRIC ACID CYCLE
Unlike Glycolysis, Electron Transport Chain require this gas.
OXYGEN
This molecule is the primary "energy currency" where the energy gained from glucose breakdown is stored in cells.
ATP
Glycolysis takes place in this part of the cell.
CYTOPLASM
The Krebs Cycle takes place in this specific part of the mitochondrion.
MITOCHONDRIAL MATRIX
The high-energy electrons from NADH and FADH2 are carried to this final stage of respiration.
ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN
These two types of organisms are explicitly mentioned as carrying out cellular respiration.
PLANTS AND ANIMALS
The net number of ATP molecules generated per molecule of glucose during Glycolysis.
2
The two high-energy electron carriers generated during the Krebs Cycle for use in the ETC.
NADH AND FADH2
The Electron Transport Chain creates this type of gradient, which ultimately leads to ATP production.
PROTON GRADIENT
This is the three-letter abbreviation for the coenzyme that is reduced to form NADH and carries high-energy electrons.
NAD+
The 3-carbon final product of Glycolysis.
PYRUVATE
The 4-carbon molecule that binds with acetyl CoA to start the cycle.
OXALOACETATE
The two molecules that carry their electrons from the earlier stages to the Electron Transport Chain.
NADH AND FADH2
Glycolysis, the Krebs Cycle, and the Electron Transport Chain are the three main ___________ of cellular respiration.
STAGES
The preparatory phase requires the input of this number of ATP molecules, which is paid back in the payoff phase.
2
This gas is removed in the second stage of the Krebs Cycle and contains two carbons.
CO2
The Electron Transport Chain is considered as this type of reaction as it requires oxygen.
