What is an acid?

Back

An acid is a substance that increases the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in a solution, resulting in a pH lower than 7.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis is the metabolic process that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing ATP and NADH in the process.

Front

What is a theory in science?

Back

A theory is a well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations and is supported by a significant body of evidence.

Front

What type of respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen?

Back

Aerobic respiration is the process that requires oxygen to produce ATP from glucose.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose to release energy in the form of ATP.

Front

What is the pH scale?

Back

The pH scale measures the acidity or basicity of a solution, ranging from 0 (very acidic) to 14 (very basic), with 7 being neutral.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the energy currency of the cell, used to store and transfer energy for various cellular processes.

Front

What is the role of glucose in cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose serves as the primary fuel source for cellular respiration, providing the energy needed to produce ATP.

Front

What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

Anaerobic respiration is a type of respiration that occurs without oxygen, resulting in the production of energy through fermentation.

Front

What are the products of glycolysis?

Back

The products of glycolysis include 2 molecules of pyruvate, 2 molecules of ATP, and 2 molecules of NADH.
