Front

How do photosynthesis and cellular respiration differ in terms of carbon dioxide?

Back

Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide, while cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide.

Front

What is the primary purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

To convert glucose into usable energy (ATP).

Front

What are the two main types of respiration?

Back

Aerobic and Anaerobic.

Front

What is produced during anaerobic respiration?

Back

Lactic acid or ethanol and carbon dioxide.

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 glycolysis?

Back

The first step of cellular respiration that breaks down glucose into pyruvate.
