A condenser: during distillation the vapour passes through a tube that is cooled by water
Fractional distillation: The process used to separate a mixture of several liquids, based on their different boiling points
Aerobic respiration: chemical process in which oxygen is used to make energy from carbohydrates (sugars). Also known as oxidative metabolism, cell respiration, or aerobic metabolism
Anaerobic reparation: form of respiration in which energy is released from chemical reactions in which free oxygen takes no part
Equation for combustion of an alcohol: R-OH (l) + O2 (g) --> CO2 (g) + H2O (l)
Fermentation: In its strictest sense fermentation (scientifically called zymosis) is the energy-yielding anaerobic metabolic breakdown of a nutrient molecule, such as glucose, without net oxidation. Fermentation yields lactate, acetic acid, ethanol, or some other simple product.
Cell membrane: The outer boundary of the cell. The cell membrane helps control what substances enter or exit the cell
Endoplasmic reticulum: network of membranous tubules in the cytoplasm of a cell; involved in the production of phospholipids, proteins, and other functions. Rough ER is studded with ribosomes; smooth ER is not.
Golgi apparatus: An organelle in eukaryotic cells containing cells consisting of stacks of membranes that modify, store, and route products of the endoplasmic reticulum
Ribosomes: Small cellular components composed of specialized ribosomal RNA and protein; site of protein synthesis. See ribonucleic acid
Centriole: Paired cellular organelle which functions in the organization of the mitotic spindle during cell division in eukaryotes
Mitochondria: The mitochondria are the principal energy source of the cell. Mitochondria convert nutrients into energy as well as doing many other specialized tasks
