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 the Krebs Cycle occur?

Back

The Krebs Cycle takes place in the mitochondria.

Front

What is the chemical formula for glucose?

Back

C6H12O6.

Front

What are the three stages of cellular respiration?

Back

1- Glycolysis, 2- Krebs Cycle, 3- Electron Transport Chain.

Front

Where does glycolysis take place?

Back

Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm.

Front

What is the role of lactic acid in muscle soreness?

Back

Lactic acid accumulates in muscles during intense activity, leading to soreness.

Front

What is ATP and its role in cellular respiration?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, produced during cellular respiration.

Front

What is the main purpose of the Krebs Cycle?

Back

The Krebs Cycle generates electron carriers (NADH and FADH2) and ATP through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA.

Front

What are the products of glycolysis?

Back

The products of glycolysis are 2 pyruvate molecules, 2 ATP, and 2 NADH.

Front

What is the electron transport chain?

Back

The electron transport chain is the final stage of cellular respiration where electrons are transferred through proteins, producing ATP and water.
