AP Biology Unit 3 Cellular Respiration

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate, producing ATP and NADH in the process.

Front

What is the input of glycolysis?

Back

Glucose.

Front

What are the main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

The main stages are glycolysis, the Krebs Cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Front

Which cycle is NOT part of cellular respiration?

Back

Calvin Cycle.

Front

Where does oxidative phosphorylation take place?

Back

Mitochondrial cristae.

Front

Where does the Krebs Cycle take place?

Back

Mitochondrial matrix.

Front

What is the main function of the Krebs Cycle?

Back

To complete the breakdown of glucose.

Front

What is produced during glycolysis?

Back

ATP and NADH.

Front

What is the role of NADH in cellular respiration?

Back

NADH carries electrons to the electron transport chain.

Front

What is the electron transport chain?

Back

A series of protein complexes in the inner mitochondrial membrane that transfer electrons and pump protons to create a gradient.
