Aerobic Cellular Respiration H

Front

What is aerobic cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What is the total net gain of ATP at the end of aerobic respiration?

Back

36 ATP

Front

What are the two main reactants of cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 (glucose) and 6O2 (oxygen)

Front

What is the main product of aerobic cellular respiration?

Back

ATP (energy)

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

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

Front

What is the Kreb's Cycle?

Back

A series of chemical reactions in aerobic respiration that produces ATP, NADH, and FADH2, and releases carbon dioxide.

Front

What is the electron transport chain (ETC)?

Back

The final step of aerobic respiration where electrons are transferred through a series of proteins, producing water and a large amount of ATP.

Front

What is produced during the Kreb's Cycle?

Back

Carbon dioxide and energy carriers (NADH and FADH2).

Front

What is the role of oxygen in aerobic respiration?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of ATP in cellular respiration?

Back

ATP is the primary energy currency of the cell, used to power various cellular processes.
