What is Aerobic respiration?
Respiration which takes place in the mitochondria, using oxygen.
1 of 19
What is ATP?
A co-enzymes made from a nucleotide with three phosphates used as an energy carrier in cells.
2 of 19
What is ATP synthase?
an enzyme that utilizes the H+ electrochemical gradient to synthesize ATP.
3 of 19
What is Chemiosmosis?
A process for making ATP using the diffusion of protons (hydrogen ions) across the inner membrane through ATP synthase.
4 of 19
What are Cristae?
Folds of the inner mitochondrial membrane.
5 of 19
What is Decarboxylation?
a chemical reaction that involves the removal of CO2.
6 of 19
What is Electron tomography?
a method used to generate a three-dimensional image of the inner mitochondrial membrane.
7 of 19
What is the Electron transport chain?
a group of proteins that accept and donate electrons in a series.
8 of 19
What is Glycolysis?
a metabolic pathway that breaks glucose down to pyruvate.
9 of 19
What is the Link reaction?
a decarboxylation reaction that occurs in the mitochondrion between glycolysis and the Krebs cycle.

What does the term lysis mean?
Splitting.

What is Oxidative phosphorylation?
The production of ATP through a series of oxidation reactions.
14 of 19
What is Phosphorylation?
The addition of a phosphate group to a molecule.

What is Pyruvate?
The end product of glycolysis.

What is Reduction?
The gain of electrons, gain of hydrogen, loss of oxygen
