Chapter 7.1 The Importance of Cellular Respiration Flashcards
An electron carrier, donates electrons in cellular processes.
NADH
An electron carrier, accepts electrons in cellular processes.
NAD+
An electron carrier, donates electrons in cellular processes.
FADH2
An electron carrier, accepts electrons in cellular processes.
FAD+
The movement of substances through a membrane against a concentration gradient using a membrane-bound carrier proteins and energy from ATP.
Active Transport
An active-transport mechanism that pumps sodium and potassium ions into and out of a cell.
Sodium-Potassium Pump
What functions require ATP ?
Motion, Transport of ions and molecules, building molecules, switching reactions on or off, bioluminescence.
The set of reactions that takes place in the cell in the presence of oxygen and releases energy stored in glucose.
Aerobic Cellular Respiration.
The set of reactions that takes place in the cell in the absence of oxygen and releases energy stored in the glucose.
Anaerobic Cellular Respiration.
