Cell Respiration

Front

What is the net gain of ATP from glycolysis?

Back

2 ATP

Front

After the Krebs Cycle, where is the majority of usable energy from glucose contained?

Back

NADH and FADH2

Front

Which enzyme adds a phosphate group to ADP to form ATP?

Back

ATP Synthase

Front

Is oxygen required for glycolysis?

Back

No, oxygen is not required for glycolysis.

Front

Why do oxygen levels decrease during aerobic respiration?

Back

Oxygen is being used for energy.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis is the process of breaking down glucose into pyruvate, producing ATP and NADH.

Front

What are the end products of glycolysis?

Back

2 pyruvate, 2 ATP, and 2 NADH.

Front

What is the role of NAD+ in cellular respiration?

Back

NAD+ acts as an electron carrier, accepting electrons during glycolysis and the Krebs Cycle.

Front

What occurs during the Krebs Cycle?

Back

The Krebs Cycle processes acetyl-CoA to produce ATP, NADH, FADH2, and CO2.

Front

What is the main purpose of the electron transport chain?

Back

To produce ATP through oxidative phosphorylation using electrons from NADH and FADH2.
