Cards

Term
Aerobic
Definition
With oxygen
Term
Cellular respiration
Definition
Metabolic reactions that use the energy from carbohydrate, fatty acid, or amino acid breakdown to produce ATP molecules
Term
Chemiosmosis
Definition
Ability of certain membranes to use hydrogen ion gradient to drive ATP formation
Term
Citric acid cycle
Definition
Cyclic metabolic pathway found in the matrix of the mitochondria that participates in cellular respiration
Term
Cristae
Definition
Short, fingerlike projections formed by the folding of the inner membrane of mitochondria
Term
Electron transport chain
Definition
Chain of electron carriers in the cristae of mitochondria and the thylakoid membrade of chloroplats. As the electrons pass from one carrier to the next, energy is released and used the establish a hydrogen ion gradient that is used to produce ATP
Term
FAD
Definition
Coenyme of oxidation-reduction that becomes FADH2 as oxidation of substrares occurs and then delivers electrons to the electron transport system in the mitochondria during cellular respiration
Term
Fermintation
Definition
Anaerobic breakdown of glucose that results in a gain of two ATP and end products such and alcohol and lactate
Term
G3P
Definition
Significant metabolite in both the glycolytic pathway and the Calvin cycle; G3P is oxidized during glycolysis
Term
Glycosis
Definition
Anaerobic metabolic pathway found in the cytoplasm that participates in cellular respiration and fermentation; it converts glucose to two molecules of pyruvate
Term
Intermembrane space
Definition
Term
Matrix
