Prevent Drunkenness~ Amethyst comes from the Greek amethystos meaning not drunken.. In Greek myth, amethyst was a pure young girl who refused to get drunk, thus incurring the wrath of Dionysus, the god of joviality. To protect her from his wrath, the goddess Diana turned her into quartz.
cellular respiration definition The chemical process that generates most of the energy in the cell, supplying molecules needed to make the metabolic reactions (see metabolism) of an organism run. Note: The main carrier of energy in metabolism is the molecule ATP.
Fermentation. Cellular respiration generally refers to aerobic respiration, where cells use the process described above to make ATP. If oxygen is unavailable, however, our cells can still make a limited amount of ATP through lactic acid fermentation. In this process, the cell uses glycolysis to break up glucose (just as in aerobic respiration) and donates electrons to a sugar molecule called pyruvate, which forms when glucose is broken down.
