Chapter 7 : Cellular Respiration and Fermentation

Fermentation

Aerobic respiration

Cellular respiration

Redox reactions

Oxidation

Reduction

Reducing agent

Oxidizing agent

NAD+

Electron transport chain

A sequence of electron carrier molecules (membrane proteins) that shuttle electrons during the redox reactions that release energy used to make ATP.

Glycolysis

Citric acid cycle

Oxidative phosphorylation

Acetyl CoA

ATP synthase

Chemiosmosis

Process by which a Hydrogen pump pumps protons into the thylakoid membrane. H+ passively flows through the ATP synthase which leads to the creation of ATP.

Alcohol Fermentation

Lactic acid fermentation

Obligate anaerobes

Facultative anaerobes

Beta oxidation
