Front

What is the symbol for Glucose?

Back

C6 H12 O6

Front

What is the equation that represents Cellular Respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy (ATP)

Front

Which molecule contains the most energy-storing chemical bonds?

Back

Fat/Lipid

Front

What type of organism undergoes Cellular Respiration?

Back

Heterotroph

Front

What inference can be made about respiration rate and temperature?

Back

As the temperature increases, more carbon dioxide is produced.

Front

Define Cellular Respiration.

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What are the main stages of Cellular Respiration?

Back

Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, and Electron Transport Chain.

Front

What is the primary purpose of Cellular Respiration?

Back

To produce ATP, the energy currency of the cell.

Front

What is the role of oxygen in Cellular Respiration?

Back

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

Front

What is ATP?

Back

Adenosine triphosphate, the main energy carrier in cells.
