  • alcoholic fermentation -A type of anaerobic respiration in which glycolysis is followed by the reduction of pyruvate to ethanol, regenerating NAD+ and releasing carbon dioxide.
  • lactic acid fermentation -A type of anaerobic respiration in which glycolysis is followed by the reduction of pyruvate to lactate, regenerating NAD+ with no release of carbon dioxide.
  • cellular respiration -The process in which organic molecules are broken down to release energy to be stored in ATP, producing by-products such as carbon dioxide and water.
  • ATP synthase -A protein located in the inner mitochondrial membrane that functions in chemiosmosis to generate ATP.
  • fermentation -A metabolic process that makes limited amount of ATP from glucose without an ETC and produces end product such as ethanol or lactic acid.
  • acetyl coenzyme-A -The molecule which enters Krebs cycle in cellular respiration, formed from pyruvate oxidation.
  • aerobic respiration -A catabolic pathway which uses OXYGEN the final electron acceptor in ETC and ultimately producing ATP.
  • reduction -The complete or partial addition of electrons to a substance involved in a REDOX reaction. / Gain of electrons.
  • NADH+ -The oxidized form of Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, a coenzyme that could accept electrons becoming NADH.
  • electron transport chain -A series of 4 protein complexes that uses redox reactions, creating a hydrogen proton gradient that leads to production of ATP.
  • glycolysis -A series of reaction which ultimately splits glucose into two 3-Carbon molecule.
  • oxidation -The complete or partial transfer of electrons to a substance involved in a REDOX reaction. / Loss of electrons
  • phosphorylation -The attachment or transfer of phosphate group to a molecule of ion.
  • oxidative phosphorylation -The production of ATP using the energy derived from REDOX reactions in ETC (hydrogen proton-gradient).
  • chemiosmosis -The movement of ions such as Hydrogen protons across the membrane and down to its concentration gradient. This is what ATP synthase also utilize to produce ATP.
  • Carbon dioxide gas is produced from pyruvate oxidation and citric acid cycle.
  • Glycolysis could proceed even in the absence of Oxygen.
  • oxygen -The final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain that functions in aerobic oxidative phosphorylation is _____.
  • oxidative phosphorylation -Most of the ATP produced during cellular respiration is through _____.
  • H+ -the most important ion in ATP production?
  • oxygen -is directly produced from Oxygen molecules after electron transport chain?
  • glycolysis -the first metabolic pathway of aerobic cellular respiration?
  • glycolysis -The metabolic pathway which is common to both fermentation and aerobic cellular respiration is ____.
  • Citric Acid Cycle  -Most Carbon dioxide released during cellular respiration is removed during _____.
  • Carbon dioxide  -Bread baking involves fermentation. It uses yeasts to perform alcoholic fermentation and the gas released is what makes the dough rises. What gas is being released during this process?
  • 6 NADH -How many molecules of NADH are produced from 2 molecules of Acetyl CoA that enter the citric acid cycle?
  • Oxaloacetate -What molecule is being regenerated at the end of citric acid cycle?
  • Potential energy -The energy possessed by object due to its position or structure is called _____.
  • chemical energy -The energy stored in the chemical bonds of glucose is called Answer
  • Cellular respiration is a catabolic phase of metabolism that involves the breakdown of glucose into chemical energy of ATP. In this process, carbon dioxide and water are released by the cell as waste products. 
  • anaerobic respiration. This type of respiration releases energy from food in the absence of oxygen
  • Organisms that extract energy through  anaerobic respiration are called anaerobes.
  • ENERGY -is the ability to do work and cause change.
  • Law of Conservation of Energy:
    Energy is neither created nor destroyed. It can only be transferred of transformed from one form to another.
  • Two types of energy:
    • potential energy :chemical energy, nuclear energy, gravitational energy, elastic energy
    • kinetic energy : mechanical energy, thermal energy, sound energy, electrical energy, light energy
  • POTENTIAL ENERGY
    * Energy that matter possesses due to its POSITION or STRUCTURE.
    Stored energy/energy at rest
  • chemical potential energy -The energy stored in the chemical bonds of a substance
    • All matter has energy because they are made of molecules.
    • Bond breaking - releases energy
    • Bond forming - absorbs energy
    • Food contains a lot of CHEMICAL energy.
