Back

Oxygen

Front

How does the body get rid of muscle soreness?

Back

Lactic acid moves from the muscles to the liver.

Front

What are aerobic processes?

Back

Processes that require oxygen.

Back

Cytoplasm.

Front

Does fermentation require oxygen?

Back

No, fermentation does not require oxygen.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What are the three main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

Glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and Electron Transport Chain.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

The first step of cellular respiration that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP.

Front

What is the Krebs cycle?

Back

A series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to generate energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA.
