Chapter 6 Flashcards
(11 cards)
What is the complete oxidation of glucose to CO2 in the presence of O2 producting ATP
Aerobic respiration
What is a metabolic pathway occuring in the cytosol of all cells; one molecule of glucose splits into two molecules of pyruvate
glycosis
The three-carbon product of glycolysis
pyruvate
coenzyme that carries electrons in respiration
FADH2
What is the membrane-bound molecular complex that shuttles electron to slowly extract their energy
electron transport chain
What is the exnyme complex that admits protons through a membrane, triggering the phosphorylation of ADP to ATP
ATP synthase
What is a metabolic pathway occuring in the cytosol of all cells; one molecule of glucose splits into molecules of pyruvate
glycolysis
what is the three-carbon product of glycolysis
pyruvate
What is coenzyme that carries electrons in glycolysis and cellular respiration
NADH
What is the stage in cellular respiration that completely oxidizes the products of glycolysis
Krebs cycle
Coenzyme that carries electrons in repiration
FADH2
