Front

True or False? Aerobic respiration occurs in plants and animals all of the time.

Back

True.

Front

What are NADH and FADH?

Back

They are formed during the Krebs cycle and carry electrons and hydrogen ions to the Electron Transport Chain.

What does the initial reaction of the Krebs cycle produce?

Back

CO2, acetyl-CoA, and NADH.

Front

How is oxygen used in cellular respiration?

Back

It accepts electrons and protons to form water.

Front

What is the main purpose of aerobic respiration?

Back

To convert glucose into ATP using oxygen.

Front

Where does aerobic respiration occur in eukaryotic cells?

In the mitochondria.

Front

What is the role of the Electron Transport Chain in cellular respiration?

Back

To produce ATP by transferring electrons through a series of proteins.

Front

What is produced as a byproduct of aerobic respiration?

Back

Carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back
