CELLULAR RESPIRATION

Front

What is the overall equation for cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose + Oxygen --> Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy

Front

What are the main reactants in cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose and Oxygen

Front

What term describes organisms that cannot produce their own food?

Back

Heterotrophs

Front

What is the primary product of cellular respiration?

Back

Energy (ATP), Carbon dioxide, and Water

Front

What does the term 'aerobic' mean in the context of cellular respiration?

Back

Requires oxygen

Front

What is the role of oxygen in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not.

Front

What are the end products of anaerobic respiration in yeast?

Back

Ethanol and 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 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.
