Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

To convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What are the main reactants of cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen and glucose.

Front

What is the chemical formula for glucose?

Back

C6H12O6.

Front

In which organelle does cellular respiration occur?

Back

Mitochondria.

Front

What type of organisms are heterotrophs?

Back

Organisms that must consume other organisms for energy.

Front

What is the main product of cellular respiration?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

Front

How does cellular respiration differ from photosynthesis?

Back

Cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide and uses oxygen, while photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and produces oxygen.

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 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 are the three main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

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