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 are the two main types of cellular respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration.

Front

Which type of respiration is more efficient?

Back

Aerobic respiration is more efficient than anaerobic respiration.

Front

What is the primary energy currency produced during cellular respiration?

Back

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Front

What is the role of oxygen in aerobic respiration?

Back

Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, allowing for the production of ATP.

Front

What happens to your breathing rate during exercise?

Back

Your breathing rate increases to supply more oxygen to the muscles.

Front

What type of respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen?

Back

Anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen.

Front

Which organisms perform cellular respiration?

Back

Both animals and plants perform cellular respiration.

Front

In which cell organelle does cellular respiration primarily occur?

Back

Cellular respiration primarily occurs in the mitochondria.

Front

What is the byproduct of aerobic respiration?

Back

The byproducts of aerobic respiration are carbon dioxide and water.
