Term
| Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) |
|
Definition
- A molecule that consists of adenine, sugar, and 3 phosphate groups.
- can be hydrolyzed to release energy
- used by cells to store and transfer energy
- high potential energy

Term
|
Definition
- consists of adenine, sugar, and 2 phosphate groups
- the energy released during the oxidation is used to transfer P to ADP to make ATP

Term
3 steps of cellular respiration |
|
Definition
- glucose is broken down to pyruvate
- pyruvate is oxidized to CO2
- compounds reduced in steps 1 and 2 are oxidized in processes that usually lead to production of ATP

Term
|
Definition
- Series of chemical reactions, during which acetyl CoA (from glycolysis) is broken down to CO2, producing ATP and reduced compounds for the ETC.
- Occurs in the mitochondria
- When completed, Glucose is completely oxidized to CO2
- PYRUVATE enters and CO2, NADH, FADH2, and ATP come out

|
Term
|
Definition
- a set of molecules involved in a coordinated series of redox reactions in which the potential energy lost by electrons is used to pump protons from one side of the membrane to the other.
