1
New cards
ATP
Adenosine triphosphate, the energy currency in cells
2
New cards
Eukaryotic Cells
Cells with membrane-bound organelles like nucleus and mitochondria
3
New cards
Mitochondria
Organelles where part of aerobic respiration occurs
4
New cards
Glycolysis
Anaerobic process converting glucose to pyruvate in the cytoplasm
5
New cards
Pyruvate
Product of glycolysis, further converted to acetyl CoA
6
New cards
Acetyl CoA
Result of pyruvate oxidation, used in the Krebs Cycle
7
New cards
Krebs Cycle
Citric Acid Cycle in mitochondria producing ATP, NADH, and FADH2
8
New cards
Citric Acid Cycle
Aerobic process in mitochondria releasing CO2 and producing ATP
9
New cards
NADH
Coenzyme transferring electrons to generate more ATP
10
New cards
FADH2
Coenzyme assisting in electron transfer for ATP production
11
New cards
Electron Transport Chain
Complex process in mitochondria generating ATP from electron transfer
12
New cards
Chemiosmosis
Process using proton gradient to produce ATP via ATP synthase
13
New cards
ATP Synthase
Enzyme that adds a phosphate to ADP to form ATP
14
New cards
Fermentation
Process making ATP without oxygen, less efficient than aerobic respiration
15
New cards
Cyanide
Toxin blocking ATP production by interfering with the electron transport chain
16
New cards
Mitochondrial Diseases
Conditions affecting ATP production, requiring further research
