Cellular Respiration EOC review

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 cellular respiration requires oxygen?

Back

Aerobic respiration.

Front

What are the reactants of cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the final product of aerobic respiration?

Back

Carbon dioxide, water, and ATP (energy).

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis is the first step of cellular respiration that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP and NADH.

Front

What is the Krebs cycle?

Back

The Krebs cycle, also known as the citric acid cycle, is a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to generate energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA.

Front

What is the role of NADH in cellular respiration?

Back

NADH is an electron carrier that transports electrons to the electron transport chain, where it helps produce ATP.

Front

What is the electron transport chain?

Back

The electron transport chain is a series of protein complexes in the inner mitochondrial membrane that transfer electrons and pump protons to create a proton gradient for ATP synthesis.

Front

What is fermentation?

Back

Fermentation is an anaerobic process that allows cells to produce energy without oxygen, resulting in products like lactic acid or ethanol.
