|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the biochemical pathway in which one 6-carbon molecule of glucose is oxidized to produce two 3-carbon molecules of pyruvic acid. |
|

|
Definition
| an enzyme converts pyruvic acid made in glycolysis into another 3-carbon compound (lactic acid). |
|
|
Term

|
|
Term
|
Definition
| is the process of pyruvic acid breaking down and NADH is used to make larg amounts of ATP when oxygen is PRESENT. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the space inside the inner membrane of a mitochondrion. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the process of converting pyruvic acid into small amounts of ATP when oxygen is ABSENT. |
|
|
Term
| which reactions of the aerobic respiration occur in the inner mitochondrial membrane? |
|
Definition
| the pyruvic acid produced in glycolysis diffuses accros the double membrane of a mitochondrion and enters the mitochondrial matrix. |
|
|
Term
| the equation for the complete oxidation of glucose in aerobic respiration: |
|
Definition
| C6H12O6 + 6O2 -----> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP |
|
|
Term
| how is the structure of a mitochondrion well adapted for the activities it carries out? |
|
Definition
| the mitochondrion has a greater surface area. also, the mitochondrial matrix contains the enzymes needed to catalyze the reactions of the Krebs cycle. |
|
|
Term
| why are the fermentation pathways referred to as "anaerobic pathways? |
|
Definition
| because fermentation usually occurs in the ABSENCE of oxygen. |
