Cell Respiration

Front

What is the first reaction in aerobic respiration?

Back

Glycolysis

Front

Where does glycolysis take place in the cell?

Back

Cytoplasm

Front

What is the primary function of glycolysis?

Back

To break down glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP and NADH.

Front

What are the end products of glycolysis?

Back

2 pyruvate, 2 ATP, and 2 NADH.

Front

What is pumped into the inner membrane space during the electron transport chain?

Back

Hydrogen ions (H+).

Front

What is the role of NADH in cellular respiration?

Back

It transfers electrons and hydrogen to the electron transport chain.

Front

Which part of aerobic respiration produces the most ATP?

Back

Electron Transport Chain.

Front

What is the main purpose of the Krebs cycle?

Back

To produce electron carriers (NADH and FADH2) and ATP from the breakdown of acetyl-CoA.

Front

What is the significance of the electron transport chain?

Back

It creates a proton gradient that drives ATP synthesis through oxidative phosphorylation.

Front

What is oxidative phosphorylation?

Back

The process of ATP production that occurs in the electron transport chain, using the energy from electrons to pump protons and create ATP.
