Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis

Front

What is the main function of the Krebs cycle?

Back

To complete the breakdown of glucose.

Front

Where do the light reactions of photosynthesis take place?

Back

Thylakoid membrane.

Front

What is the starting material for the Krebs cycle?

Back

Acetyl CoA.

Front

What happens if the mitochondrial inner membrane is ruptured?

Back

ATP synthesis would be inhibited.

Front

Which of the following is NOT a step in cellular respiration?

Back

Calvin Cycle.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What are the three main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, and Oxidative Phosphorylation.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

The first step of cellular respiration that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP.

Front

What is oxidative phosphorylation?

Back

The final stage of cellular respiration where ATP is produced using energy from the electron transport chain.

Front

What is the role of NADH in cellular respiration?

Back

NADH carries electrons to the electron transport chain, facilitating ATP production.
