Cellular Respiration

Front

Amino Acid

Back

Building blocks of proteins, some of which help enzymes that control cellular respiration.

Front

Carbohydrate

Back

A main source of energy; broken down into glucose to start cellular respiration.

Front

Carbon (C)

Back

An element found in glucose and released as carbon dioxide during cellular respiration.

Front

Cellular Respiration

Back

The process cells use to turn glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

Cellulose

Back

A plant carbohydrate not used in cellular respiration because it cannot be broken down by most cells.

Front

Fatty Acid

Back

A molecule from fats that can be broken down to make energy during cellular respiration.

Front

Hydrocarbon

Back

Molecules made of carbon and hydrogen; parts of fats that cells can use for energy.

Front

Hydrogen (H)

Back

An element that moves through the electron transport chain to help make energy.

Front

Lipid

Back

A type of organic molecule that is insoluble in water and is used for energy storage and structural components in cells.

Front

Fats and oils that store energy; broken down into fatty acids for cellular respiration.
