AP Biology Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the process of ADP being phosphorylated indicating?

Back

ADP is forming into ATP.

Front

What is the most likely pH value in the matrix of the mitochondria after 5 glucose molecules have been broken down?

Back

6

Front

Which of the following is NOT a byproduct of cellular respiration: CO2, Heat, H2O, ATP?

Back

ATP.

Front

Which process produces the least amount of ATP in cells: Glycolysis, Citric Acid cycle, Lactic acid Fermentation, Pyruvate Oxidation?

Back

Pyruvate Oxidation.

Front

Why is ATP considered the most significant energy carrying molecule?

Back

ATP has different bond energy between its phosphate groups.

Front

Define cellular respiration.

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What are the three main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

Glycolysis, Citric Acid Cycle (Krebs Cycle), and Electron Transport Chain.

Front

What is glycolysis and where does it occur?

Back

Glycolysis is the first step of cellular respiration that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, occurring in the cytoplasm.

Front

What is the role of the mitochondria in cellular respiration?

Back

Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, where the Citric Acid Cycle and Electron Transport Chain occur.

Front

What is the significance of the electron transport chain?

Back

It generates the majority of ATP during cellular respiration through oxidative phosphorylation.
