pyruvic acid
answer
during glycolysis, glucose is broken down into this 3 carbon compound
question
hydrogen protons
answer
during the electron transport chain, this is pumped from the matrix across the cristae membrane into the inner membrane space
question
glucose
answer
the primary fuel for cellular respiration
question
aerobic
answer
this type of respiration can only occur in the presence of oxygen
question
matrix
answer
the krebs cycle takes part in this part of the mitochondria
question
adenosine triphosphate
answer
this molecule serves as a source of immediate energy fro cellular processes that require energy
question
ATP sinphase
answer
ATP's are generated when hydrogen protons cause a rotor to spin as they flow across the cristae membrane through this enzyme
question
water
answer
at the end of the electron transport chain, low energy hydrogen electrons and hydrogen protons are combined with oxygen to form this enzyme
question
adenine
answer
this is the nitrogen base that is found in molecules of ADP and ATP
question
respiration
answer
the energy transformation that converts the energy held in molecules of glucose to molecules of ATP
question
oxygen
answer
this molecule serves as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain
question
lactic acid
answer
in the absence of oxygen, muscle cells may convert pyruvic acid into this compound
question
krebs cycle
answer
this stage of cellular respiration produces hydrogen atoms, ATP, and carbon dioxide
question
alcoholic
answer
this type of fermentation produces carbon dioxide which causes bread dough to rise
question
phosphate
answer
the addition or removal of this molecule determines whether energy is stored or released
question
glycolysis
answer
in this stage of respiration, glucose is converted to pyruvic acid
question
citric acid
answer
acetate is joined with oxalocetic acid to form this 6 carbon compound
question
NADH
answer
a large number of high energy hydrogen electrons are delivered to the electron transport chain in this form
question
electron transport chain
answer
the energy generated by this process is used to pump hydrogen protons across a membrane, generating a high concentration proton gradient
question
cristae
answer
this folding and looping membrane increases the surface area fro cellular respiration
question
mitochondria
answer
this is the cellular organelle where aerobic respiration takes place
question
carbon dioxide
answer
during the oxidation, or break down, of pyruvic acid, this compound is given off as a waste product
question
fermentation
answer
this type of respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen
question
cytoplasm
answer
anaerobic respiration takes place in this part of the cell
question
thirty eight
answer
the total number of ATP that can be generated from one molecule of ATP
question
ribose
answer
this is the type of sugar that is found in an ADP or ATP molecule
question
anaerobic
answer
glycolysis does not require oxygen, so it is:
question
acetate
answer
during the bridge reactions, molecules of pyruvate are oxidized into molecules of this 2-carbon molecule
