Cellular Respiration

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 is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

The main purpose of cellular respiration is to produce ATP, which is used as energy by cells to perform various functions.

Front

What are the two main types of cellular respiration?

Back

The two main types of cellular respiration are aerobic respiration (requires oxygen) and anaerobic respiration (does not require oxygen).

Front

Which type of respiration is more efficient in producing ATP?

Back

Aerobic respiration is more efficient than anaerobic respiration.

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

6O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Energy.

Front

Where does glycolysis occur?

Back

Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.

Front

How many ATP molecules are produced during glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis produces 2 ATP molecules.

Front

What organelle is responsible for cellular respiration?

Back

The mitochondria are the organelles responsible for cellular respiration.

Front

What is the role of oxygen in aerobic respiration?

Back

Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain during aerobic respiration.

Front

What is the byproduct of cellular respiration?

Back

The byproducts of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide and water.
