Unit 3b: Ch. 10 (Cell Respiration) CONCEPT CHECK

Front

Where does the Krebs Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle) occur?

Back

Mitochondria matrix.

Front

What are the products of cellular respiration?

Back

Water, carbon dioxide, and ATP.

Front

Why do carbohydrates provide quick energy?

Back

Glucose is one of the inputs of cellular respiration.

Front

What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 + 6 O2 -> 6 H2O + 6 CO2.

Front

What is the main goal of cellular respiration?

Back

To break down glucose into the form of ATP.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

Adenosine triphosphate, the energy currency of the cell.

Front

What role do mitochondria play in cellular respiration?

Back

They are the site of ATP production through aerobic respiration.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

The process of breaking down glucose into pyruvate, producing ATP and NADH.

Front

What is the role of oxygen in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain.

Front

What is fermentation?

Back

An anaerobic process that allows for ATP production without oxygen.
