Term

potential energy (stored)

kinetic energy (working)

Definition
2 forms of energy
Term
ATP
Definition
Where energy is stored in bacterial (and most other) cells...
Term
cell membrane
Definition
Where ATP is produced and stored in bacteria...
Term
ATP
Definition
adenosine triphosphate
Term
Adenine, ribose and 3 phosphate groups
Definition
What does ATP contain?
Term
High Energy Transfer Compounds (HETC)
Definition
Chemicals where energy is stored when not in ATP.
Term
Last 2 phosphate bonds
Definition
Where energy is stored (specifically) in ATP
Term
ATPase
Definition
Breaks ATP's third bond to form ADP, phosphate group and energy.
Term
respiration
Definition
method of energy production using O2
Term
glycolysis, krebs cycle and electron transport system (ETS)
Definition
processes involved in respiration
Term
aerobes and facultative bacteria
Definition
can undergo respiration if O2 is present
Term
fermentation
Definition
method of energy production without using O2
Term
glycolysis ONLY
Definition
processes involved in fermentation
Term
anaerobes and facultative bacteria
Definition
undergo fermentation if O2 is not present
Term
oxidation
Definition
occurs when a chemical loses Hydrogens and/or electrons
Term
reduction
Definition
occurs when a chemical gains hydrogens and/or electrons
Term
energy stored in the bonds of ATP
Definition
An oxidation and reduction produce this...
Term

3 ATP

1 H2O

Definition
Are produced in Electron Transport System for every 2 H and 2 e-
Term
oxygen
Definition
Final electron acceptor in ETS
Term
Produce energy and store it in ATP
Definition
Major function of the ETS
Term

2 Pyruvic Acid molecules

8 net ATP

Definition
Produced at the end of glycolysis in respiration.
Term
2  ATP
Definition
Number of ATP produced by fermentation.
Term
38 ATP
Definition
Total number of ATP produced in bacterial respiration after the Kreb's cycle is finished.
Term
Feed electrons to the ETS
Definition
Major function of the Kreb's cycle
Term
CO2
Definition
Major waste product of the Kreb's Cycle
Term
30 ATP
Definition
Number of ATP produced during the Kreb's Cycle
Term
2 Pyruvic Acid molecules
Definition
Starts the Kreb's Cycle
