Term
|
Definition
| the oxygen-requiring reactions, occurring in mitochondria, that break down the end products of glycolysis into carbon dioxide and water while capturing large amounts of energy as ATP. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a process of ATP generation in chloroplasts and mitochondria. The movement of electrons down an electron transport system is used to pump hydrogen ions across a membrane, thereby building up a concentration gradient of hydrogen ions across the membrane; the hydrodgen ions diffuse back across the membrane through the pores of ATP-synthesizing enzymes; the energy of their movement down their concentration gradient drives ATP synthesis. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a series of electron carrier molecules, found in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts and the inner membrane of mitochondria, that extract energy from electrons and generate ATP or other energetic molecules. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| anaerobic reactions that convert the pyruvic acid produced by glycolysis into lactic acid or alcohol and CO2 |
|
|
Term
| flavin adenine dinucleotide (FADH) |
|
Definition
| an electron carrier produced in the Krebs cycle by Acetyl CoA |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| reactions carred out in the cytoplasm that break down glucose into two molecules of pyruvic acid, producing two ATP molecules; does not require oxygen but can proceed when oxygen is present. |
|
|
Term
| Intermembrane compartment |
|
Definition
| the fluid-filled space between the inner and outer membranes of mitochondrion. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a cyclic series of reactions, occurring in the matrix of mitochondria, in which the acetyl groups from the pyruvic acids produced by glycolysis are broken down to CO2, accompanied by the formation of ATP and electron carriers; also called citric acid cycle. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the fluid contained within the inner membrane of a mitochondrion. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| an orgenelle bounded by two membrances that is the site of the reactions of aerobic metabolism. |
|
|
Term
| nictinamide adenine dinucleotide(NADH) |
|
Definition
| an electron carrier produced in glycolysis. Two NADH carrier molecules are formed for each glucose molecule that is converted to pyruvate. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a three-carbon molecule that is formed by glycolysis and then used in fermentation or cellular respiration. |
