C1.2 Cellular Respiration Practice- SL

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 used as energy by cells to perform various functions.

Front

What are the three main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

The three main stages of cellular respiration are Glycolysis, the Krebs Cycle, and the Electron Transport Chain.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis is the first step of cellular respiration where glucose is broken down into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP.

Front

Where does glycolysis occur?

Back

Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.

Front

What is the Krebs Cycle?

Back

The Krebs Cycle, also known as the Citric Acid Cycle, is the second stage of cellular respiration that takes place in the mitochondria and produces electron carriers.

Front

What is the role of the Electron Transport Chain?

Back

The Electron Transport Chain is the final stage of cellular respiration where ATP is produced using the electrons from NADH and FADH2.

Front

What is aerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration is a type of cellular respiration that requires oxygen to produce ATP.

Front

What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

Anaerobic respiration is a type of cellular respiration that occurs without oxygen, resulting in less ATP production.

Front

What are the products of cellular respiration?

Back

The products of cellular respiration are ATP, carbon dioxide, and water.
