in the word bank Glycolysis Glycolysis literally means "__sugar__-splitting." In glycolysis, the _6_-carbon sugar glucose is split into _2_ molecules of pyruvate, also called _pyruvic__ acid. This process produces a net gain of _2_ ATP molecules. The resulting molecules of pyruvate each have _3_ carbon atoms. Glycolysis takes place in the cell's __cytoplasm__. The remainder of cellular respiration takes place in organelles called ___mitochondria____. The Krebs Cycle The Krebs Cycle takes place in the fluid-filled area inside the inner membrane of the mitochondria known as the __matrix. Some __ATP and other energy carrying molecules are produced here. The gas ____carbon dioxide__ is a byproduct of this process. The Electron Transport Chain Most of the _ATP/energy_ is produced in this last step of cellular respiration. Electron transport takes place in the infoldings of the inner-membrane of the mitochondria. These infoldings are called _cristae_. At the end of electron transport, oxygen combines with hydrogen ions and ___electrons_ (e-) to form __water_. O2 + 2H+ + 2e- H2O Overall Process glucose + oxygen carbon dioxide + water + 38 _ATP_ Fermentation In the absence of __oxygen__, the cell resorts to anaerobic metabolism. In animal cells, pyruvate is converted to __lactic_ acid. In yeast and bacteria, the pyruvate is often converted to ___alcohol__. In both cases, no new ATP is produced, so the net production of the ___energy_-carrying molecule is only the _2_ molecules of ATP produced in glycolysis.
