Cellular Respiration

2. amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius.
3. process that does not require oxygen
4. singular term for mitochondria
6. a yellowish organic acid which occurs as an intermediate in many metabolic processes, especially glycolysis.
8. process by which cells release energy in the absence of oxygen
10. first set of reactions in cellular respiration during which a molecule of glucose is broken into 2 molecules of pyruvic acid
11. energy that is used as it is made composed of ribose and 3 phosphate groups
13. a redox-active coenzyme associated with various proteins, which is involved with several enzymatic reactions in metabolis. In its fully oxidized form, or quinone form, accepts two electrons and two protons
14. Carried out by yeast, producing ethyl and carbon dioxide.
15. electron carrier involved in glycolysis
16. innermost compartment of the mitochondrion
17. process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen.

1. Uses a chemical reaction that converts pyruvic acid to turn lactic acid without giving off carbon dioxide
5. A process in which pyruvic acid from glycolysis reacts to form acetyl-COA which then enters the Krebs cycle. In the process, a molecule of carbon dioxide is produced and 2 high energy electrons are passed to NAD+
7. process that requires oxygen.
9. responsible for generation the majority of ATP during cellular respiration
12. second stage of cellular respiration in which pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy-extracting reactions
