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

What are the main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

The main stages of cellular respiration are Glycolysis, the Krebs Cycle, and the Electron Transport Chain.

Front

Where does glycolysis occur in the cell?

Back

Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.

Front

What is the main product of glycolysis?

Back

The main product of glycolysis is pyruvate.

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 Krebs Cycle also known as?

Back

The Krebs Cycle is also known as the Citric Acid Cycle.

Front

What are the products of the Krebs Cycle?

Back

The products of the Krebs Cycle include carbon dioxide, ATP, NADH, and FADH2.

Front

What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

Anaerobic respiration is a type of respiration that occurs without oxygen, producing less ATP than aerobic respiration.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and produces more ATP, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen and produces less ATP.

Front

What is ATP and why is it important?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes.
