AP Biology - Cellular Respiration #2

Front

What type of respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen?

Back

Aerobic respiration is the process of producing cellular energy in the presence of oxygen.

Front

What is the net gain of ATP during glycolysis?

Back

The net gain of ATP during glycolysis is 2 ATP molecules.

Front

What is a product of the Kreb's Cycle?

Back

Carbon dioxide is a product of the Kreb's Cycle.

Front

What is the stage of aerobic respiration that generates the most reduced NAD?

Back

The Citric acid cycle (Kreb's Cycle) generates the most reduced NAD.

Front

What are the two reactants of cellular respiration?

Back

The two reactants of cellular respiration are C6H12O6 (glucose) and 6O2 (oxygen).

Front

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

The main purpose of cellular respiration is to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP.

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 Kreb's Cycle?

Back

The Kreb's Cycle, also known as the Citric Acid Cycle, is a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to generate energy.

Front

What is the electron transport chain (ETC)?

Back

The electron transport chain (ETC) is the final stage of cellular respiration where ATP is produced using electrons from NADH and FADH2.

Front

What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

Anaerobic respiration is the process of producing cellular energy without oxygen.
