BIOLOGY FLASHCARD on Chapter 9 "Cellular Respiration & Fermentation"

Front

Where does the Krebs Cycle take place?

Back

The Krebs Cycle takes place in the mitochondria.

Front

What type of respiration does not require oxygen?

Back

Anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen.

Front

True or False: Photosynthesis releases energy, while respiration stores energy.

Back

False. Photosynthesis stores energy, while respiration releases energy.

Front

What is fermentation?

Back

Fermentation is an anaerobic process that allows cells to produce energy without oxygen.

Front

Photosynthesis is to chloroplasts as cellular respiration is to:

Back

Mitochondria.

Front

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

The main purpose of cellular respiration is to convert glucose into usable energy (ATP) for the cell.

Front

What are the two main types of cellular respiration?

Back

Aerobic and anaerobic respiration.

Front

What is produced during aerobic respiration?

Back

Carbon dioxide, water, and ATP (energy) are produced during aerobic respiration.

Front

What is the role of mitochondria in the cell?

Back

Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, where cellular respiration occurs.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not.
