amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius

first step in releasing the energy of glucose, in which a molecule of glucose is broken into two molecules of pyruvic acid

process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen

6CO₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆ ---> 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Energy (36 ATP)

process by which cells release energy in the absence of oxygen

process that does not require oxygen

process that requires oxygen

second stage of cellular respiration, in which pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy-extracting reactions

a series of proteins in which the high-energy electrons from the Krebs cycle are used to convert ADP into ATP
