cellular energy

fermentation

the anaerobic process by which ATP is produced

Krebs cycle

the part of cellular respiration that breaks down pyruvate to produce electron carriers(NADH and FADH2) that are used in the electron transport chain

anaerobic

processes that do not require oxygen to occur

glycolysis

the first part of cellular respiration where glucose is broken down into two pyruvate molecules and two net ATP are produced

lactic acid

the product of fermentation in many types of cells, including human cells

Aerobic

processes that do require oxygen to occur

cellular respiration

the type of combustion reaction that occurs when oxygen is available to react with glucose to produce carbon dioxide, water and ATP
