HS-LS1-7: Cellular Respiration

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 chemical formula for glucose?

Back

C6H12O6

Front

What are the main products of cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of oxygen in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen is used to help break down glucose to release energy during cellular respiration.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen.

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (ATP)

Front

What is a byproduct of cellular respiration?

Back

Carbon dioxide is a byproduct of cellular respiration.

Front

How does cellular respiration relate to photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, which are used in cellular respiration to produce energy.

Front

What is a chemical reaction?

Back

A chemical reaction is a process that rearranges atoms in substances to form new substances.
