Term Definition
calorie amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius
glycolysis first step in releasing the energy of glucose, in which a molecule of glucose is broken into two molecules of pyruvic acid
cellular respiration process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen
NAD+ electron carrier involved in glycolysis
fermentation process by which cells release energy in the absence of oxygen
anaerobic process that does not require oxygen
aerobic process that requires oxygen
Krebs cycle second stage of cellular respiration, in which pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy-extracting reactions
electron transport chain a series of proteins in which the high-energy electrons from the Krebs cycle are used to convert ADP into ATP
