1. Metabolic pathway: A pathway that a molecule goes through, resulting in a specific product
2. Metabolism: The totality of an organism's chemical reactions
3. Gibbs free energy: Portion of a system that can perform work when temp and pressure are uniform
throughout the system
4. Negative Delta G: A process that is spontaneous
5. Spontaneous: Means that a process will occur
6. Exergonic reaction: The energy is released
7. Endergonic reaction: The energy is consumed in the reaction
8. Cell: Must have endergonic and exergonic reactions
9. ATP Hydrolysis: Exergonic reaction
10. Mechanical and Transport work: Endergonic reactions
11. Enzymes: Lower energy barriers to drive chemical reactions
12. -ase: Usually means an enzyme
13. Exergonic energy profile: How an exergonic reaction looks like
14. Enzymes: Biological catalysts
15. Mitochondria: Site of cellular respiration in all eukaryotic cells
16. Reduction: Addition of electrons to a substance
17. Oxidation: Loss of electrons to a substance
18. Cellular respiration: Catabolic reactions used to generate ATP
19. Glycolysis: Breaking down of glucose into 2 molecules of pyruvate
20. Citric acid cycle: Breakdown of glucose to carbon dioxide is completed
21. Stage 1 of cellular respiration: Glycolysis
22. Stage 2 of cellular respiration: Pyruvate oxidation and citric acid cycle
23. Stage 3 of cellular respiration: Oxidative phosphorylation
24. NADH: Transfers electrons from food to electron transport chain
25. Pyruvate: Converted to Acetyl CoA
26. Citric acid cycle: Occurs in the mitochondrial matrix
27. Substrate-level phosphorylation: A substrate gives a phosphate to ADP, making a product and ATP
28. Oxidative phosphorylation: Occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane
29. ATP/Glucose: About 30-32
30. ATP Synthase: Enzyme that makes ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphates
31. Chemiosmosis: Energy stored as a hydrogen ion gradient across a membrane is used to drive cellular work
