By NickBeth Meyer

Match

Vocabulary

• a series of proteins in the mitochondrial membrane which transfer electrons to oxygen in a step-wise process which produces ATP

• the form of in cell respiration that requires free oxygen

• the form of cell respiration that can take place in the absence of free oxygen

electron transport chain

aerobic respiration

anaerobic respiration

• electron transport chain

• aerobic respiration

• anaerobic respiration

Match

Vocab

• conversion of carbohydrates into alcohols

• the breakdown of glucose through a series of biochemical reactions produces two molecules each of ATP, pyruvate, and NADH

• the process that occurs when the chemical energy of "food" molecules, carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, is released and partially captured in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)

fermentation

glycolysis

cellular respiration

• fermentation

• glycolysis

• cellular respiration

Fill in the Blanks

The three stages of cellular respiration ending with oxygen accepting the electrons is known as

respiration

Fill in the Blanks

When your body or other organisms need to produce ATP in oxygen-poor environments, they must resort to

respiration.
