Cellular Respiration

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

The main purpose of cellular respiration is to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the energy currency of the cell.

Front

What is aerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration is a type of cellular respiration that requires oxygen to produce energy.

Front

What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

Anaerobic respiration is a type of cellular respiration that occurs without oxygen, producing less energy.

Front

Where does aerobic respiration occur in the cell?

Back

Aerobic respiration occurs in the mitochondrion.

Front

What is the role of mitochondria in cellular respiration?

Back

Mitochondria are the organelles that produce energy through aerobic respiration.

Front

What is produced during cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration produces ATP, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

How does photosynthesis relate to cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and produces oxygen, while cellular respiration uses oxygen and produces carbon dioxide.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a molecule that stores and transfers energy within cells.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration in terms of energy production?

Back

Aerobic respiration produces more ATP than anaerobic respiration.
