Cells and Cellular Respiration

Front

Where in the cell does the Krebs cycle take place?

Back

The Krebs cycle takes place in the matrix of the mitochondria.

Front

What is one molecule produced by animals during cellular respiration?

Back

Carbon dioxide is produced by animals during cellular respiration.

Front

Which cell part is known as the 'post office' of the cell?

Back

The Golgi body is known as the 'post office' of the cell, packaging materials to be secreted.

Front

What is another name for the Krebs Cycle?

Back

The Krebs Cycle is also known as the Citric Acid Cycle.

Front

How many carbons are in glucose?

Back

Glucose contains 6 carbons.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the main purpose of the Krebs cycle?

Back

The main purpose of the Krebs cycle is to produce energy carriers (NADH and FADH2) for the electron transport chain.

Front

What are the two main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

The two main stages of cellular respiration are glycolysis and aerobic respiration (which includes the Krebs cycle and electron transport chain).

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.

Front

What role do mitochondria play in cellular respiration?

Back

Mitochondria are the organelles where the Krebs cycle and electron transport chain occur, producing ATP.
