AP Biology - Cellular Respiration

Front

What are the products of aerobic cellular respiration?

Back

ATP, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Water - All of the above.

Front

What does the phosphorylation of ADP indicate?

Back

ADP is forming into ATP.

Front

Which reaction moves the cellular respiration process from the cytoplasm to the mitochondria?

Back

Pyruvate ---> Acetyl CoA.

Front

How many ATP does anaerobic respiration yield per glucose?

Back

2 ATP; Aerobic respiration yields about 38 ATP per glucose.

Front

What does a negative delta G indicate about a reaction?

Back

The reaction will release more energy than was needed to form the reaction.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

The process of breaking down glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP and NADH.

Front

What is the role of oxygen in aerobic respiration?

Back

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

Front

What is the main purpose of the Krebs cycle?

Back

To produce electron carriers (NADH and FADH2) for the electron transport chain.

Front

What is the electron transport chain?

Back

A series of protein complexes that transfer electrons and pump protons to create a proton gradient for ATP synthesis.

Front

What is fermentation?

Back

An anaerobic process that allows for the regeneration of NAD+ from NADH, enabling glycolysis to continue.
