Cards

Term
AEROBIC
Definition
Process that REQUIRES energy
Term
PYRUVIC ACID
Definition

{In the presence of oxygen}

this is produced in glycolysis

and used in the Kreb's Cycle.

Term

NADH

Definition
Holds electrons until they can be transferred to other molucules.
Term
ATP SYNTHASE
Definition

Large protein that uses energy

from H+ ions to bind ADP and

a phosphate group together

to produce ATP.

Term
KREBS CYCLE 
Definition

Second stage of cellular respiration, where pyruvic acid is broken down

into carbon dioxide

{takes place in mitochondria}

Term
ACETYL-CoA
Definition
compound called coenzyme A
Term

FADH2

(flavine adenine dinucleotide)

Definition

Molecules that are similar to NAD+

and NADH, respectively.

Term
GLYCOGEN
Definition

Excess sugar in a polysaccharide,

Also Called: Animal Startch

Term

ELECTRON

TRANSPORT
CHAIN

Definition

a series of proteins in which

high-energy electrons from the

Krebs Cycle are used to convert

ADP to ATP.

Term
CITRIC ACID
Definition

Acetyl-CoA adds 2-carbon acetyl

 group to a 4-carbon molecule,

producing a 6-carbon molecule.

Term
ATP
Definition

Produced from ADP...

ENERGY!!

Term
MUSCLES
Definition

a tissue composed of cells or fibers,

the contraction of which

produces movement in the body.
