University/Undergrad
metabolism
the chemical reactions in the body's cells that change food into energy
anaerobic
living without oxygen
cellular respiration
Any pathway that uses an electron transfer chain to harvest energy from organic molecules to make ATP
cellular respiration takes..
O₂ to CO₂
Great Oxidation Event
killed off most anaerobic life
cyanobacteria
photosynthetic bacteria
aerobic
organisms that can live in presence of oxygen
antioxidants
minimizes damages caused by O₂
structure where aerobic cell respiration happens
mitochondria
free radical
oxygen atom missing an electron
oxidative stress
tissue damage from free radicals accumulating
congenital
been around since birth
aerobic respiration
cellular respiration using oxygen
cell respiration
breaking down glucose to produce ATP
glycolysis
series of reactions that produce ATP by converting glucose to pyruvate, happens in the cytoplasm
pyruvate
used as a substrate for second stage of aerobic cell respiration
Acetyle CoA Formation
pyruvate splits into CO2 and an acetyl group, acetyl group attaches to coenzyme A. makes 2 of these molecules..
phosphorylation
adding a phosphate group to a molecule
FAD
a coenzyme; flavin adenine dinucleotide
citric acid cycle
also called krebs cycle, it is a cyclic cycle. uses Acetyl CoA which reacts with oxaloacetate to form citrate
electron transfer phosphorylation
similar to the same-name process in light-dependent photosynthesis. starts along the mitochondrial membrane. a hydrogen ion is moved across the membrane and flows through ATP synthase . water is produced
fermenatation
anaerobic cellular respiration. happens in the cell's cytoplasm. only produces 2 molecules of ATP.
alcoholic fermentation
converts glucose into ethyl alcohol
ethanol
ethyl alcohol
uses of alcoholic fermentation
used in food. medicine. biofuels
lactate fermentation
AKA lactic acid fermentation. converts glucose into lactate.
lactate fermentation uses
used in cheese, pickles, soy sauce, sausage. and in animal skeletal muscles for quick bursts of energy
less dangerous type of cell respiration
