Ch.10 Cell Respiration

Front

What are the reactants of cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen and glucose.

Front

Which molecule is the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain?

Back

Oxygen.

Front

Where does the electron transport chain occur in the cell?

Back

In the inner membrane of the mitochondria.

Front

Why do oxygen levels decrease during aerobic respiration?

Back

Oxygen is being used as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain.

Front

What does the term 'aerobic' mean?

Back

With oxygen.

Front

What is the primary purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

To convert biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP.

Front

What are the three main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

Glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and electron transport chain.

Front

What is produced during glycolysis?

Back

2 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 pyruvate molecules.

Front

What is the role of NADH in cellular respiration?

Back

NADH carries electrons to the electron transport chain.

Front

What is the significance of the Krebs cycle?

Back

It produces electron carriers (NADH and FADH2) and ATP.
