lesson 10.1

amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree celsius

process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen

process that requires oxygen

process that does not require oxygen

first set of reaction in cellular respiration during which a molecule of glucose is broken into 2 molecules of pyruvate acid.

electron carrier involved in glycolysis

second stage of cellular in which pelvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy-extracting reactions

innermost compartment of the mitochondrion

process by which cell release energy in the absence of oxygen
