Term
Catabolic Pathway
Definition
Breaks down large molecules into smaller molecules.
Term
Cellular Respiration
Definition
The process by which your body makes energy.
Term
ADP
Definition
Energy that contains two Adenosine.
Term
ATP
Definition
Energy that contains three Adenosine.
Term
Cytoplasm
Definition
Jelly like substance that makes up most of the cell. Also the site of Glycolosis.
Term
Mitochondria
Definition
Power-house of the cell. Also the site of the Citric Acid Cycle and ETC.
Term
Cristae
Definition
Folding in the inner membrane of the mitochondria that increases surface area and ultimatly the amount of energy that can be made.
Term
Aerobic
Definition
glycolysis, citric acid cycle, electron transport chain. Requires oxygen for respiration.
Term
Anaerobic
Definition
glycolysis, fermentation. Does not require oxygen except for Glycolosis.
Term
