Term
Anaerobic
Definition
occurring in the absence of oxygen
Term
Aerobic
Definition
Involving or occurring in the presence of oxygen
Term
Aerobic respiration
Definition
Oxygen-requiring pathway that breaks down carbohydrates to produce ATP
Term
Fermentation
Definition
An anaerobic pathway by which cells harvest energy from carbohydrates to produce ATP
Term
Glycolysis
Definition
Set of reactions in which glucose or another sugar is broken down to two pyruvate for a net yield of 2 ATP
Term
Substrate-level-phosphorylation
Definition
a reaction that transfers a phosphate group from a substrate directly to ADP, thus form ATP
Term
Krebs cycle
Definition
Cyclic pathway that, along with acetylCoA formation, breaks down pyruvate to carbon dioxide
Term
Alcoholic fermentation
Definition
Anaerobic carbohydrate breakdown pathway that produces ATP and ethanol. Begins with glycolysis; end reactions regenerate NAD+ so glycolysis can continue
Term
Lactate fermentation
Definition
Anaerobic carbohydrate breakdown pathway that produces ATP and lactate.
