electron carrier involved in glycolysis
oxygen dept
amount of oxygen requirement to oxidize lactic acid produced anaerobically during strenous muscle activity.
Cytochromes
Catabolism
Metabolic pathways that break down molecules, releasing energy.
Mitocondrion
cellular respiration
Process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen
Electron Transport Chain (ETC)
series of electron carrier proteins that shuttle high-energy electrons during ATP-generating reactions
citric acid cycle
Completes the breakdown of glucose by oxidizing a derivative of pyruvate to carbon dioxide.
Anabolism
prepartory reaction
parent drug more polar metabolite
FAD
electron carrier produced during the Krebs cycle
The enzyme-catalyzed formation of ATP by direct transfer of a phosphate group to ADP from an intermediate substrate in catabolism.
Chemiosmosis
Glycolysis
A metabolic process that breaks down carbohydrates and sugars through a series of reactions to either pyruvic acid or lactic acid and release energy for the body in the form of ATP
Fermentation
A catabolic process that makes a limited amount of ATP from glucose without an electron transport chain and that produces a characteristic end product, such as ethyl alcohol or lactic acid.
Acetyl CoA
Process that does not require oxygen
Aerobic
Process that requires oxygen
