Cellular Respiration and Glucose

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

Where does cellular respiration occur in the cell?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of the cell.

Front

What is the chemical formula for glucose?

Back

C6H12O6

Front

What are the main products of cellular respiration?

Back

The main products of cellular respiration are ATP (energy), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the role of oxygen in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen is used to help convert glucose into ATP during cellular respiration.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, which are the starting materials for cellular respiration.

Front

What is the process of photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

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

Front

What are the reactants of cellular respiration?

Back

The reactants of cellular respiration are glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

Anaerobic respiration is a type of respiration that occurs without oxygen, producing less energy than aerobic respiration.
