CELLULAR 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 is the primary purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

The primary purpose of cellular respiration is to produce ATP, which provides energy for cellular activities.

Front

What are the main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

The main stages of cellular respiration are glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain.

Front

Where does glycolysis occur in the cell?

Back

Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.

Front

What is the net gain of ATP from glycolysis?

Back

The net gain of ATP from glycolysis is 2 ATP molecules.

Front

What is the role of oxygen in cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What is fermentation?

Back

Fermentation is an anaerobic process that allows cells to produce energy without oxygen, resulting in products like lactic acid or ethanol.

Front

How many ATP molecules are produced during aerobic respiration from one glucose molecule?

Back

A total of 38 ATP molecules are produced during aerobic respiration from one glucose molecule.

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

What are the byproducts of cellular respiration?

Back

The byproducts of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide and water.
