Term
Calorie
Definition
is an amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram od water 1 degree Celsius.
Term
Cellular Repiration
Definition
is the process of releasing energy in an exothermic reaction by breaking down glucose to produce ATP.
Term
Aerobic
Definition
with air
Term
Anaerobic
Definition
without air
Term
Glycolysis
Definition
1 molecule of glucose,6-carbon compound is tanfored into 2 moleules of pyruvic acid, a 3-carbon compound.
Term
Krebs Cycle
Definition
pyruvic avid is broken down into carbon dixide in series of energy-extracting reactions.
Term
Electron Transport Chain
Definition
uses high enery electrons from glycolysi and the Krebs cycle to convert ADP to ATP.
Term
Fermentation
Definition
releases energy from food molecules by producing ATP.
Term
Alcoholic fermentation
Definition
pyruvate is converted into ethyl alcohol (ethanol). This method is carried out by fungus and plants. Carbon dioxide is produced during reaction
Term
Lactic acid fermentation
Definition
pyruvate is converted into lactic acid. This method used by animals and bacteria when oxygen is not present. There is no carbon dioxide produced.
