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

Where does cellular respiration occur in the cell?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria.

Front

What are the main reactants of cellular respiration?

Back

The main reactants of cellular respiration are glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the primary product of cellular respiration?

Back

The primary product of cellular respiration is ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is used as energy by the cell.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, which are the reactants for cellular respiration, while cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide and water, which are the reactants for photosynthesis.

Front

What is the role of mitochondria in cellular respiration?

Back

Mitochondria are the organelles that facilitate the process of cellular respiration, converting biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP.

Front

What is ATP and why is it important?

Back

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

Front

What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

Anaerobic respiration is a type of cellular respiration that occurs without oxygen, producing less energy and resulting in byproducts like lactic acid or ethanol.

Front

What is aerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration is a type of cellular respiration that requires oxygen and produces a significant amount of ATP.

Front

What are the byproducts of cellular respiration?

Back

The byproducts of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide and water.
