Cellular Respiration

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis that serve as starting materials for cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose and oxygen.

Front

Where does aerobic respiration occur in the cell?

Back

In the mitochondria.

Front

What molecule is produced by animals during cellular respiration?

Back

Carbon dioxide.

Front

What is the molecule that stores energy transferred from glucose during cellular respiration?

Back

ATP (Adenosine triphosphate).

Front

What are the two reactants required for cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 (glucose) and 6O2 (oxygen).

Front

What is the overall equation for cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (ATP).

Front

What is the primary purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

To convert biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP, and release waste products.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not.

Front

What is the role of ATP in cellular respiration?

Back

ATP serves as the main energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes.

Front

What is glycolysis and where does it occur?

Back

Glycolysis is the first step of cellular respiration that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, occurring in the cytoplasm.
