Cellular Respiration Overview Review

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

What are the main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

The main stages are Glycolysis, the Krebs Cycle, and Oxidative Phosphorylation.

Front

Where does glycolysis occur?

Back

Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.

Front

What is the net gain of ATP from glycolysis?

Back

The net gain of ATP from glycolysis is 2 ATP molecules.

Front

What are the end products of glycolysis?

Back

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

Front

What is the Krebs Cycle also known as?

Back

The Krebs Cycle is also known as the Citric Acid Cycle.

Front

Where does the Krebs Cycle take place?

Back

The Krebs Cycle takes place in the mitochondria.

Front

What are the main products of the Krebs Cycle?

Back

The main products of the Krebs Cycle are ATP, NADH, FADH2, and carbon dioxide.

Front

What is oxidative phosphorylation?

Back

Oxidative phosphorylation is the final stage of cellular respiration where ATP is produced using the electron transport chain and a proton gradient.

Front

How many ATP molecules are produced during oxidative phosphorylation?

Back

Up to 34 ATP molecules can be produced during oxidative phosphorylation.
