CR and BS Review

Front

What is aerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration is a process that requires oxygen to convert glucose into energy, producing up to 36 ATP molecules per glucose molecule.

Front

What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

Anaerobic respiration is a process that does not require oxygen to convert glucose into energy, resulting in less ATP production compared to aerobic respiration.

Front

What is the main difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not.

Front

What is the primary organ that controls all activities in the human body?

Back

The brain is the primary organ that directs and controls all activities in the body.

Front

What is the role of mitochondria in cellular respiration?

Back

Mitochondria are the organelles where aerobic respiration occurs, producing ATP through the breakdown of glucose.

Front

What type of respiration occurs during long-distance running?

Back

Aerobic cellular respiration occurs during long-distance running, providing the necessary energy.

Front

What is produced during anaerobic respiration?

Back

Anaerobic respiration produces less ATP and can result in byproducts like lactic acid or ethanol.

Front

What is the maximum ATP yield from one molecule of glucose during aerobic respiration?

Back

Up to 36 ATP molecules can be produced from one molecule of glucose during aerobic respiration.

Front

What does it mean for a process to be anaerobic?

Back

It means that the process does not require oxygen.

Front

What is the significance of oxygen in aerobic respiration?

Back

Oxygen is essential in aerobic respiration as it acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, allowing for maximum ATP production.
