Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

6O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Energy

Front

Which process creates the most ATP during aerobic cellular respiration?

Back

Electron transport chain

Front

Why is ATP called a cell's 'energy currency'?

Back

Most of the energy that drives metabolism is supplied by ATP.

Front

How do photosynthesis and cellular respiration differ?

Back

Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide, while cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide.

Front

Who performs cellular respiration?

Back

Both autotrophs and heterotrophs perform cellular respiration.

Front

What is the primary purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

To convert biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP.

Front

What are the main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

Glycolysis, Kreb's cycle, and electron transport chain.

Front

Where does glycolysis occur?

Back

In the cytoplasm of the cell.

Front

What is produced during glycolysis?

Back

2 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 pyruvate molecules.

Front

What is the role of oxygen in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain.
