Cellular Respiration
Process by which living cells obtain energy from organic molecules and release waste products, with the primary aim to produce ATP.
Aerobic Respiration
Cellular respiration that uses oxygen to generate ATP.
Anaerobic Respiration
Cellular respiration (fermentation) that does not require oxygen to produce ATP.
Glycolysis
Initial metabolic pathway involving the breakdown of glucose into pyruvates, which can occur with or without oxygen.
Citric Acid Cycle
Metabolic cycle occurring in the mitochondrial matrix, involving the breakdown of acetyl CoA to produce CO2, ATP, NADH, and FADH2.
Oxidative Phosphorylation
Process where high-energy electrons from NADH and FADH2 are used to generate ATP, typically requiring oxygen and involving the electron transport chain in the inner mitochondrial membrane.
