C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6 H2O + energy The process of converting glucose into a form of energy (ATP) that is useable by cells Begins breakdown of glucose Occurs in the cytoplasm Breaks glucose molecule into 2 pyruvate molecules Also creates NADH from NAD+ Creates 2 ATP molecules Does not use oxygen The molecules created from the breakdown of glucose during glycolysis site of glycolysis contains enzymes necessary for glycolysis carrier molecule that brings H via NADH to the electron transport chain to create ATP carrier molecule that brings H via FADH2 to the electron transport chain to create ATP metabolic pathway that requires oxygen (glycolysis --> Kreb's --> ETC); complete breakdown of glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide and water metabolic pathway that does not use oxygen (glycolysis-->fermentation); breakdown of glucose into lactic acid or alcohol and CO2 AKA citric acid cycle occurs in the matrix of the mitochondrion completes the breakdown of glucose into carbon dioxide generates NADH and FADH2 that carry H to the electron transport chain creates 2 ATP

1. cellular respiration equation

C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6 H2O + energy

2. cellular respiration definition

The process of converting glucose into a form of energy (ATP) that is useable by cells

3. glycolysis

Begins breakdown of glucose
Occurs in the cytoplasm
Breaks glucose molecule into 2 pyruvate molecules
Also creates NADH from NAD+
Creates 2 ATP molecules
Does not use oxygen

4. pyruvate

The molecules created from the breakdown of glucose during glycolysis

5. cytoplasm

site of glycolysis
contains enzymes necessary for glycolysis

6. NAD+

carrier molecule that brings H via NADH to the electron transport chain to create ATP

7. FAD

carrier molecule that brings H via FADH2 to the electron transport chain to create ATP

8. aerobic cellular respiration

metabolic pathway that requires oxygen (glycolysis --> Kreb's --> ETC); complete breakdown of glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide and water

9. anaerobic cellular respiration

metabolic pathway that does not use oxygen (glycolysis-->fermentation); breakdown of glucose into lactic acid or alcohol and CO2
 

10 Kreb's cycle

AKA citric acid cycle
occurs in the matrix of the mitochondrion
completes the breakdown of glucose into carbon dioxide
generates NADH and FADH2 that carry H to the electron transport chain
creates 2 ATP
