Lesson 5 Cellular Respiration

Front

What is Cellular Respiration?

Back

A series of chemical reactions that breaks apart and rearranges the atoms that make up food molecules, causing the release of the energy stored in food.

Front

Where does a cell get the energy to spin ATP synthase?

Back

From the movement of electrons within the mitochondria.

Front

What is the role of ATP in muscle movement?

Back

It changes the shape of muscle cells by binding to proteins.

Front

What is Metabolic Rate?

Back

The total amount of energy used by an animal in a unit of time.

Front

Why is oxygen important for cellular respiration?

Back

It provides a steady supply of oxygen to cells for cellular respiration.

Front

What is the main function of ATP Synthase?

Back

To synthesize ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate using energy from protons.

Front

What are the two main types of cellular respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration.

Front

What is the byproduct of aerobic respiration?

Back

Carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is fermentation?

Back

A process that allows cells to produce energy without oxygen.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not.
