Document Summary

Electron carrier: compounds that pick up electrons from energy rich compounds and donates them to low energy compounds. /nadh: nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide: nad+ = oxidized, nadh = reduced - potential energy carrie in nadp used to synthesize atp, most common energy carrier. Matrix: fluid in the mitochondria, the part of the mitochondria that is inside both inner and outer membranes: reactions that occur: pyruvate oxidation, citric acid cycle. Glycolysis: stage of cellular respiration in which sugars such as glucose are partially oxidized and broken down into smaller molecules: occurs in cytosol. Citric acid cycle/krebs cycle/tricarboxylic acid cycle: series of reactions in which acetyl groups are completely oxidized completely to carbon dioxide and some atp molecules are synthesized. Oxidative phosphorylation: synthesis of atp in which atp synthase uses an h+ gradient built by the electron transfer system as the energy source to make the atp. Substrate- level phosphorylation: enzyme catalyzed reaction that transfers a phosphate group from a substrate to adp.
