Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Review

Front

What is the primary function of cellular respiration?

Back

To convert glucose into ATP using oxygen.

Front

What is ATP and why is it important?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes.

Front

What happens to ATP when it is converted to ADP?

Back

Energy is released from the bonds, which can be used for cellular work.

Front

What are the three main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

Glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and electron transport chain.

Front

Where does glycolysis occur in the cell?

Back

In the cytoplasm.

Front

What is the role of oxygen in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, allowing for the production of ATP.

Front

What is produced during glycolysis?

Back

2 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 pyruvate molecules.

Front

What is the Krebs cycle also known as?

Back

The citric acid cycle.

Front

Where does the Krebs cycle take place?

Back

In the mitochondria.

Front

What are the main products of the Krebs cycle?

Back

ATP, NADH, FADH2, and carbon dioxide.
