Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the primary purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

To transform sugar into a usable form of energy (ATP).

Front

What type of respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen?

Back

Aerobic respiration.

Front

What happens to your breathing rate during exercise?

Back

It increases.

Front

What are the two main reactants of cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 (glucose) and 6O2 (oxygen).

Front

What is one molecule produced by animals during cellular respiration?

Back

Carbon dioxide.

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 is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen.

Front

What are the main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

Glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the 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.
