Module 8 Lesson 3 Cellular Respiration

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

Where does the electron transport chain occur in cellular respiration?

Back

The electron transport chain takes place in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Front

What are the main products of glycolysis?

Back

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

Front

What is the net gain of ATP from glycolysis?

Back

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

Front

What is the primary reactant of glycolysis?

Back

The primary reactant of glycolysis is glucose.

Front

What are NADH and FADH2?

Back

NADH and FADH2 are electron carriers that store energy during cellular respiration and are produced during glycolysis and the Krebs cycle.

Front

What is the Krebs Cycle?

Back

The Krebs Cycle, also known as the citric acid cycle, is a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to generate energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA.

Front

How many ATP molecules are produced from one turn of the Krebs Cycle?

Back

2 ATP molecules are produced from one turn of the Krebs Cycle.

Front

What is the role of oxygen in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, allowing for the production of ATP.

Front

What is the overall equation for cellular respiration?

Back

The overall equation for cellular respiration is: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP.
