What is referred to as the energy currency of the cell?

Back

ATP.

Front

What does aerobic respiration require that anaerobic respiration does not?

Back

Oxygen.

Front

Where does the Krebs Cycle take place?

Back

In the mitochondria.

Front

What is the primary energy molecule produced during cellular respiration?

Back

ATP.

Front

What are the two main types of cellular respiration?

Back

Aerobic and anaerobic respiration.

Front

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

To convert glucose into usable energy (ATP).

Front

What are the end products of aerobic respiration?

Back

Carbon dioxide, water, and ATP.

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.

Front

What role do electron transport chains play in cellular respiration?

Back

They help produce ATP by transferring electrons and pumping protons across the mitochondrial membrane.
