Metabolic process that breaks down large molecules into smaller ones; catabolic metabolism.
cellular respiration
Metabolic reactions that use the energy primarily from carbohydrates but also from fatty acid or amino acid breakdown to produce ATP molecules.
metabolic pool
Metabolites that are the products of and/or substrates for key reactions in cells, allowing one type of molecule to be changed into another type, such as carbohydrates converted to fats.
NAD+
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide; coenzyme of oxidation-reduction that accepts electrons and hydrogen ions to become NADHH+ as oxidation of substrates occurs. During cellular respiration, NADH carries electrons to the electron transport chain in mitochondria.
electron transport chain (ETC)

Short, fingerlike projections formed by the folding of the inner membrane of mitochondria.
During the electron transport chain ATP is made through the process of chemiosmosis. This ATP-producing process is called chemiosmosis because it is powered by the flow of hydrogen ions moving down their concentration gradient through the ATP synthase complexes located in the mitochondrial cristae.
