12.13 Cellular Respiration

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What is the net gain of ATP molecules produced during glycolysis?

Back

2 ATP

Front

What are the three main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

Glycolysis, Krebs cycle, Electron transport chain

Front

What is the primary purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

To generate ATP

Front

Which of the following is the correct equation for cellular respiration?

Back

Front

In which part of the cell does glycolysis occur?

Back

Cytoplasm

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis is the first stage 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 the second stage of cellular respiration that processes pyruvate to produce electron carriers and ATP.

Front

What is the electron transport chain?

Back

The electron transport chain is the final stage of cellular respiration where electrons are transferred through proteins, generating a large amount of ATP.

Front

What are the products of cellular respiration?

Back

The products of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide, water, and energy (ATP).
