REVIEW- Cellular Respiration & Fermentation

Front

What are the inputs, or reactants, that cells use in cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose and oxygen are the main inputs for cellular respiration.

Front

The cell organelle where cellular respiration occurs is the -

Back

Mitochondria are the organelles where cellular respiration takes place.

Front

What is the enzyme in the inner mitochondrial membrane that H+ flows through to make ATP?

Back

ATP Synthase is the enzyme that synthesizes ATP as H+ ions flow through it.

Front

Where does the Electron Transport Chain get the high energy electrons it needs?

Back

The Electron Transport Chain gets high energy electrons from the Krebs Cycle and Glycolysis.

Front

What phrase best describes the main role of fermentation?

Back

Fermentation allows glycolysis to continue making small amounts of ATP in the absence of oxygen.

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 three main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

The three main stages are Glycolysis, the Krebs Cycle, and the 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 is the Krebs Cycle?

Back

The Krebs 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 oxygen in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in the Electron Transport Chain, allowing for the production of ATP.
