Cards

Term
respiration
Definition
-chemical bond energy to usable energy
-36-38 ATP
Term
glycolysis
Definition
-occurs in cytoplasm
-yields 2 pyruvate, 2 ATP and 2NADH
Term
pyruvate decarboxylation
Definition
-occurs in matrix
-pyruvate loses CO2 and forms with coenzyme A to form Acetyl CoA
Term
Krebs cycle
Definition
-occurs in matrix
-generates 2 ATP, 6NADH, 2FADH2
Term
fermentation
Definition
regeneration of NAD+ due to lack of oxygen
Term
alcohol fermentation
Definition
-pyruvate reduced to alcohol, regenerating NAD+ to enter glycolysis
Term
lactic acid fermentation
Definition
pyruvate is reduced to lactic acid to regenerate NAD+
Term
ETC
Definition
-occurs in intermitochondrial membrane
-e- transported to oxygen via carrier proteins
-water is formed
-protons are pumped into intermembrane space, thus providing energy to phosphorylate ATP
Term
other sources of energy
Definition
other carbs, lipids, proteins
Term
oxidative deamination
Definition
removal of an ammonia from an amino acid
Term
air passageway order
Definition
external nares, nasal cavity, internal nares, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli
Term
inhalation
Definition
-diaphragm contracts
-pushes ribs up
-thoracic cavity volume increases, decreasing pressure, allowing air to rush in
Term
phrenic nerve
Definition
innervates diaphragm
Term
medulla
Definition
ventilation
Term
least likely to occur during oxygen debt
Definition
buildup of pyruvate
Term
protons are pumped into
Definition
intermembrane space
Term
inhalation process
Definition
active
