1
Q
Glycolysis
A
When cells gradually release the energy from glucose and other food compounds
2
Q
Anaerobic
A
When no air is present
3
Q
Fermentation
A
Releases energy from food by producing ATP when no oxygen is present
4
Q
Cellular respiration
A
The process that releases energy by breaking down glucose in the presence of oxygen
5
Q
Aerobic
A
When air is present
6
Q
Krebs cycle
A
During krebs cycle pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon-dioxide in multiple reactions
7
Q
Electron transport chain
A
Uses high energy electrons from the Krebs cycle to convert ADP into ATP
8
Q
Glucose
A
A type of sugar used throughout the body
9
Q
NAD+/ NADH
A
NAD+ helps to pass energy from glucose to other pathways from the cell, NADH is is a pair of high energy electrons
