Chapter+7+Vocab


 * cellular respiration: ** the complex process in which cells make ATP by breaking down organic compounds
 * glycolysis: ** a biochemical pathway which yields a relatively small amount of ATP
 * anaerobic pathways: ** a fermentation pathway that operates in the absence of oxygen
 * aerobic pathway: ** pathways that products of glycolysis enter if oxygen is present
 * pyruvic acid: ** the 3 carbon molecules produced from glycolysis
 * fermentation: ** the combination of glycolysis plus additional pathways
 * lactic acid fermentation: ** in this, an enzyme converts pyruvic acid into another three carbon compound called lactic acid
 * alcoholic fermentation: ** a process that converts pyruvic acid into ethyl alcohol. this pathway requires 2 steps

 * <span style="color: #ff821f; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">oxaloacetic acid: **<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> combines with a 2 carbon compound to make citric acid
 * <span style="color: #f0b600; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">electron transport chain: **<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> constitutes the second stage of aerobic respiration
