Cellular Respiration Flashcard R

Front

What type of respiration requires oxygen?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen.

Front

What is the correct sequence of events in cellular respiration?

Back

The correct sequence is glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and electron transport.

Front

What type of respiration does not require oxygen?

Back

Anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen.

Front

What is the primary purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

The primary purpose of cellular respiration is to make ATP.

Front

How many Calories per gram do carbohydrates and proteins release when burned?

Back

Carbohydrates and proteins each release 4 Calories per gram when burned.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis is the first step in cellular respiration where glucose is broken down into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP.

Front

What occurs during the Krebs cycle?

Back

During the Krebs cycle, acetyl-CoA is oxidized, producing NADH, FADH2, and ATP, while releasing carbon dioxide.

Front

What is the role of the electron transport chain in cellular respiration?

Back

The electron transport chain uses electrons from NADH and FADH2 to create a proton gradient that drives ATP synthesis.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and produces more ATP, while anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen and produces less ATP.

Front

What are the end products of aerobic respiration?

Back

The end products of aerobic respiration are carbon dioxide, water, and ATP.
