Cell Respiration

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What are the main products of cellular respiration?

Back

The main products of cellular respiration are ATP (energy), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in the cell?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria.

Front

What is the purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

The purpose of cellular respiration is to produce ATP, which is used as energy by the cell.

Front

What are the reactants of cellular respiration?

Back

The reactants of cellular respiration are glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the Krebs cycle?

Back

The Krebs cycle, also known as the citric acid cycle, is a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to generate energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA.

Front

Where does the Krebs cycle take place?

Back

The Krebs cycle takes place in the matrix of the mitochondria.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, which are used as reactants in cellular respiration to produce ATP.

Front

What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

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