Cellular Respiration

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 is the main purpose of Cellular Respiration?

Back

The main purpose of Cellular Respiration is to produce ATP, which is the energy currency of the cell.

Front

What type of organisms are Heterotrophs?

Back

Heterotrophs are organisms that cannot produce their own food and must consume other organisms for energy.

Front

What is the chemical formula for Glucose?

Back

C6H12O6

Front

What are the main reactants of Cellular Respiration?

Back

The main reactants of Cellular Respiration are glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2).

Front

What are the main products of Cellular Respiration?

Back

The main products of Cellular Respiration are carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and ATP.

Front

What is the role of Oxygen in Cellular Respiration?

Back

Oxygen is a key reactant in Cellular Respiration, allowing cells to efficiently produce ATP.

Front

What is the equation for Cellular Respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP

Front

What is the difference between Autotrophs and Heterotrophs?

Back

Autotrophs produce their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, while Heterotrophs consume other organisms for energy.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, used to power various cellular processes.
