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?

Where does glycolysis occur in the cell?

Back

In the cytoplasm.

Front

What is the main purpose of the Krebs Cycle?

Back

To produce electron carriers (NADH and FADH2) for the Electron Transport Chain.

Front

What is the role of oxygen in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in the Electron Transport Chain.
