Term
cellular respiration
Definition
The process by which mitochondria break down food molecules to produce ATP.
Term
anaerobic
Definition
no oxygen is required
Term
aerobic
Definition
oxygen is required
Term
glycolysis
Definition
A series of chemical reactions in the cytoplasm of a cell that break down glucose into 2 pyruvic acid molecules.
Term
citric acid cycle
Definition

A series of chemical reactions similar to the Calvin cycle in that one of the molecules needed for the first reaction is also one of the end products.  

 

Glucose molecules are formed.

Term
lactic acid fermentation
Definition
An anaerobic process that follows glycolysis and provides a way to produce ATP until oxygen is available again.
Term
alcoholic fermentation
Definition
When yeast cells produce CO2 and ethyl alcohol such as during the baking of bread.  The CO2 forms bubbles that make dough rise.
