Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the chemical formula for glucose?

Back

C6H12O6

Front

What are the three stages of cellular respiration?

Back

1- Glycolysis 2- Krebs Cycle 3- Electron Transport Chain

Front

Where does the Krebs Cycle take place?

Back

Mitochondria

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells break down glucose into energy.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of the mitochondria in cellular respiration?

Back

Mitochondria are the sites of the Krebs Cycle and Electron Transport Chain, where most ATP is produced.

Front

What is the main product of the Krebs Cycle?

Back

NADH, FADH2, ATP, and CO2.

Front

What is the function of NADH and FADH2 in cellular respiration?

Back

They are electron carriers that transport electrons to the electron transport chain.

Front

What is the electron transport chain?

Back

A series of protein complexes in the inner mitochondrial membrane that transfer electrons and pump protons to generate ATP.

Front

What is fermentation?

Back

An anaerobic process that allows for the production of energy without oxygen, resulting in products like lactic acid or ethanol.
