Cellular Respiration 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 reactants of cellular respiration?

Back

The main reactants of cellular respiration are glucose and oxygen.

Front

What are the main products of cellular respiration?

Back

The main products of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide, water, and ATP (energy).

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in the cell?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of the cell.

Front

How does oxygen availability affect cellular respiration?

Back

A decrease in oxygen availability decreases the amount of energy produced during cellular respiration.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

The reactants of cellular respiration (glucose and oxygen) are obtained from the products of photosynthesis (glucose and oxygen).

Front

What role do chloroplasts play in plants?

Back

Chloroplasts are the locations inside plant cells where photosynthesis occurs.

Front

What is chlorophyll?

Back

Chlorophyll is a chemical found in plant cells that captures sunlight to make food during photosynthesis.

Front

What happens to the rate of photosynthesis in an air-proof bottle?

Back

The rate of photosynthesis gradually slows down to zero because CO2 is used up.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, produced during cellular respiration.
