1. cellular respiration use of oxygen to release energy from nutrients
2. cellular respiration energy that is stored in the food that we eat is convert-
ed to the body's energy molecule ATP
3. ATP small organic molecule with three phosphate groups
attached that acts as the direct source of energy for
almost all cellular activities
4. ATP a relatively unstable molecule
5. ATP never used for long-term storage of energy in the cell
6. ATP used for direct and rapid transfers of energy
7. inputs into the cellular respiration organic molecules and oxygen
pathway
8. outputs of cellular respiration carbon dioxide, water, and energy in the form of ATP
9. aerobic a process that requires oxygen
10. NADH an electron carrier molecule produced in glycolysis
and the Krebs cycle
11. FADH2 one of the electron carrier molecules produced in the
Krebs cycle of aerobic cellular respiration
12. NADH and FADH2 molecules that provide the transport of high-energy

14. glycolysis step one of cellular respiration
15. glycolysis the breakdown of glucose into pyruvate
16. glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm and produces small amounts
of the energy molecule ATP and the electron carrier
NADH
17. glycolysis essentially the breaking of a sugar molecule in half
18. glucose the most common sugar used in glycolysis
19. glucose a six carbon sugar
20. pyruvate a three carbon molecule that is the output of glycolysis
21. glycolysis breaks down glucose with or without oxygen present
22. fermentation breaks down molecules and stores energy as ATP
23. fermentation does not require oxygen and does not break down all
glucose fully to carbon dioxide
24. fermentation ends with molecules that still contain considerable
amounts of chemical potential energy
25. anaerobic a process that occurs without oxygen
26. acetyl coA a two carbon molecule that is an intermediate product
between glycolysis and the Krebs cycle in cellular res-
piration
27. acetyl coA pyruvate from glycolysis is broken down into this
