Cell Respiration

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cell respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis builds the energy that cell respiration breaks down.

Front

What process produces the CO2 that we exhale?

Back

Kreb's Cycle.

Front

Where does anaerobic respiration take place in the cell?

Back

In the cytoplasm.

Front

In which part of the cell does the Kreb's Cycle occur?

Back

In the mitochondria matrix.

Front

What are the main products of cell respiration?

Back

Water, carbon dioxide, and ATP.

Front

What is the primary function of cell respiration?

Back

To convert biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not.

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 role do mitochondria play in cell respiration?

Back

Mitochondria are the sites of aerobic respiration and ATP production.

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.
