Unit 6

complete oxidation of glucose to CO2 in the presence of O2 producing ATP

cellular respiration using an electron acceptor other than O2

anaerobic metabolic pathway in which glucose is split into two molecules of pyruvate with net output of two ATP and NADH

ATP formation from transferring a phosphate group from a high-energy donor molecule to ADP

coenzyme that carries electrons in glycolysis and respiration

organelle that houses the reactions of cellular respiration in eukaryotes

folds in the inner mitochondrial membrane

the space between a mitochondrion’s two membranes

inner compartment of a mitochondrion

the product of partial oxidation of pyruvate that enters into the Krebs Cycle

stage in the cellular respiration that completely oxidizes the products of glycolysis

a series of membrane-bound proteins that transfers energy-rich electrons from NADH and FADH2 to create a hydrogen gradient

reactions that produce ATP using ATP synthase and the potential energy of a proton gradient

enzyme complex that admits protons through a membrane, where they trigger phosphorylation of ADP to ATP

cellular respiration using an electron acceptor other than O2

metabolic pathway in the cytoplasm in which NADH from glycolysis reduces pyruvate

NADH from glycolysis reduces acetaldehyde, producing ethanol and CO2

NADH from glycolysis reduces pryruvate, producing lactic acid
