Citric Acid Cycle
aerobic process
Dark Reactions
Calvin cycle; process using ATP and NADH to produce glucose

a 3-carbon structure formed from breaking down glucose
Fermentation
process that extracts energy from food without oxygen
Oxidation of Pyruvate
pyruvate loses electrons and a hydrogen molecule to create acetyl coA
