Front

What is the role of glucose in cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose is broken down to release energy in the form of ATP.

Front

What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

A type of respiration that occurs without oxygen, producing less ATP.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and produces more ATP, while anaerobic respiration does not.

Front

What is the main purpose of the Krebs cycle?

Back

To produce electron carriers (NADH and FADH2) for the ETC.

Front

What are NADH and FADH2?

Back

They are electron carriers produced during glycolysis and the Krebs cycle.
