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

Where does glycolysis occur in the cell?

Back

Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm.

Front

What is the main purpose of glycolysis?

Back

The main purpose of glycolysis is to break down glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP and NADH.

Front

What is the net gain of ATP during glycolysis?

Back

The net gain of ATP during glycolysis is 2 ATP.

Front

What are the two types of cellular respiration?

Back

The two types of cellular respiration are aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration.

Front

What does aerobic respiration require?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen.

Front

What are the products of aerobic respiration?

Back

The products of aerobic respiration are carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is the main energy currency of the cell?

Back

The main energy currency of the cell is ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

Front

What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

Anaerobic respiration is the process of producing energy without the use of oxygen.

Front

What is produced during anaerobic respiration in muscle cells?

Back

Lactic acid is produced during anaerobic respiration in muscle cells.
