cellular respiration

3. amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius.
5. electron carrier involved in glycolysis
7. 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
10. Carried out by yeast, producing ethyl and carbon dioxide.
13. a yellowish organic acid which occurs as an intermediate in many metabolic processes, especially glycolysis.
14. 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+
15. responsible for generation the mejority of ATP during cellular respiration
16. process by which cells release energy in the absence of oxygen
17. process that does not require oxygen

1. singular term for mitochondria
2. process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen.
4. second stage of cellular respiration in which pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy-extracting reactions
6. process that requires oxygen.
8. energy that is used as it is made composed of ribose and 3 phosphate groups
9. first set of reactions in cellular respiration during which a molecule of glucose is broken into 2 molecules of pyruvic acid
11. Uses a chemical reaction that converts pyruvic acid to turn lactic acid without giving off carbon dioxide
12. innermost compartment of the mitochondrion
