Vocabulary
I have listed here some important terms from the lectures. This list is an optional study aid. You should NOT assume that these are the only terms you should know to do well on the corresponding examination. On the other hand, if you you are unfamiliar with many of these terms, you will likely struggle with the examination.
Chapter 09: Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy*
Clicking on the link above will take you to an interactive flashcard site, but the flashcard list will differ from my list shown below. You should know the terms in my list, even if they don't appear on flashcards.
