AP Bio Cellular Respiration

Front

What is ATP hydrolysis?

Back

ATP hydrolysis is an exergonic reaction that releases energy by breaking down ATP into ADP and inorganic phosphate.

Front

How many ATP molecules can one NADH produce in the electron transport chain?

Back

One NADH molecule can produce a maximum of 3 ATP molecules in the electron transport chain.

Front

Where does glycolysis take place in the cell?

Back

Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol of the cell.

Front

How many ATP are produced during glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis produces a net gain of 2 ATP molecules.

Front

Which molecule enters the Krebs Cycle?

Back

Acetyl CoA enters the Krebs Cycle.

Front

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

The main purpose of cellular respiration is to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP.

Front

What are the three main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

The three main stages of cellular respiration are glycolysis, the Krebs Cycle, and the electron transport chain.

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 is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and produces more ATP, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen and produces less ATP.

Front

What is the net gain of ATP from one glucose molecule during cellular respiration?

Back

The net gain of ATP from one glucose molecule during cellular respiration is approximately 30-38 ATP.
