Cellular Respiration - the process your cells use to turn food into energy, Glycolysis - an energy producing process that breaks down one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate, Krebs cycle - a series of chemical reactions that help in breaking down and releasing energy from nutrients, Electron transport chain (ETC) - electrons flow through and generate energy to make ATP, ATP (Adensine Triphosphate) - energy molecule that powers cell activities, ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) - low energy version of ATP, adds phosphate to recharge, NAD+/FAD - Empty electron carriers, NADH/FADH2 - Full electron carriers carrying electrons and hydrogen to the electron transport chain, Pyruvate - What glucose becomes after glycolysis, Acetyl CoA - Entry molecule for the Krebs cycle made from pyruvate, Mitochondria - Powerhouse organelee where most ATP is made, Cytoplasm - Jelly like part of the cell where glycolysis happens, Aerobic - Requires oxygen (like the full respiration process), Anaerobic - Doesn't require oxygen (like fermentation), Oxidative phosphorylation - Fancy term for ATP made using oxygen in the electron transport chain, Chemiomosis - Flow of protons through ATP synthase to make ATP, ATP synthase - The enzyme that spins to make ATP, Fermentation - Process that lets glycolysis to keep going without oxygen, Oxygen (O) - Final electron acceptor in the ETC and forms water, Carbon dioxide (CO2) - Waste gas released from glucose breakdown, Water (H2O) - Produced at the end of ETC when oxygen combines with electrons and hydrogen, Cellular Respiration steps - Glycolysis > Krebs Cycle > Electron Transport Chain, Number of net ATP molecules per Glucose molecule in the ETC - 26-34, Total number of net ATP molecules per glucose molecule - 30-38,
