Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

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

Glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and Electron Transport Chain.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

The first step of cellular respiration that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP.

Front

Where does the Krebs cycle occur?

Back

In the mitochondria.

Front

What is the main purpose of the Krebs cycle?

Back

To produce electron carriers (NADH and FADH2) for the electron transport chain.
