CELLULAR RESPIRATION

Front

What are the main products of cellular respiration?

Back

Carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What type of reaction is cellular respiration classified as?

Back

Decomposition reaction.

Front

What are the main reactants required for cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose and oxygen.

Front

How do cells obtain energy for their functions?

Back

Cells obtain energy by taking in nutrients from food.

Front

What is the primary purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

To convert biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP, and release waste products.

Front

What is ATP and why is it important in cellular respiration?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes.

Front

What role does oxygen play in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, allowing for the production of ATP.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

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

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.

Front

What are the three main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

Glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain.
