The amount of energy required
to raise the temperature of one gram of
water by 10 C. (p. 221) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
The first step in releasing the
energy of glucose in which a molecule
of glucose is broken into 2
molecules of pyruvic acid. (p221)
* Occurs in the cytoplasm of cells. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
The process that releases energy
by breaking down food molecules
in the presence of O2; includes
glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, &
the electron transport chain (p. 222) |
|

Definition
electron carrier involved in glycolysis
& the Kreb's Cycle that becomes
energized by accepting a pair
of high energy electrons (p. 223)
|
|
|
Term
|
Definition
The process by which cells release
energy from glucose in the absence of
O2; this process keeps glycolysis
going by breaking down
NADH into NAD+ (p.224) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
A process such as glycolysis &
fermentation that does
not require oxygen (p. 224) |

process that requires air |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
2nd stage of cellular respiration,
in which pyruvic acid is broken
down into CO2 in a series of
energy-extracting reactions (p. 226) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
a series of proteins in which the
high-energy electrons from the Krebs cycle
are used to convert ADP into ATP (p 228) |
|
|
Term
Why is the Krebs cycle
also known as
the citric acid cycle? |
|
Definition
Part A ends with citric acid,
then in Part B the citric acid is broken down which ends up as ATP to be used for cellular activity (energy!).

Why do runners
breathe heavily after a race? |
|
Definition
You can think of a quick sprint building up an oxygen debt that a runner has to repay after the race with plenty of heavy breathing.
When the race is over, the only way to get rid of lactic acid is in a chemical pathway that requires extra oxygen. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Can usually suppy enough
ATP to last only about
90 seconds. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
For exercise longer than about 90 seconds, is the
only way to generate a
continuous supply of ATP. |

Term
Comparing photosynthesis
& Cellular Respiration |
|
Definition
They are almost opposite processes.
Earlier in the chapter, the chemical energy in carbohydrates was compared to money in a savings account. Photosynthesis is the process that "deposits" energy. Cellular respiration is the process that "withdraws" energy. The equations for photosynthesis and cellular respiration are the reverse of each other. |
