Energy Test Study Guide

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 waste products of cellular respiration?

Back

The main waste products of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide and water.

Front

Which organelle is responsible for cellular respiration?

Back

Mitochondria are the organelles responsible for cellular respiration.

Front

What is the primary purpose of the Electron Transport Chain?

Back

The primary purpose of the Electron Transport Chain is to produce the most ATP during cellular respiration.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis is the first step of cellular respiration that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP.

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

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is the role of chloroplasts?

Back

Chloroplasts are the organelles in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, used to store and transfer energy.

Front

How does aerobic respiration differ from anaerobic respiration?

Back

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