Chap 9 Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the energy molecule used directly for cellular work?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the primary energy carrier in all living organisms.

Front

What is the overall goal of cellular respiration?

Back

The overall goal of cellular respiration is to produce ATP, which provides energy for cellular processes.

Front

During which process is glucose broken down?

Back

Glucose is broken down during Glycolysis, the first step of cellular respiration.

Front

What is a product of the Krebs Cycle?

Back

Carbon dioxide is a product of the Krebs Cycle, which is released as a waste product.

Front

What is the primary purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

The primary purpose of cellular respiration is to make ATP.

Front

What is Glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis is the process of breaking down glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP.

Front

What are the two main types of cellular respiration?

Back

The two main types of cellular respiration are aerobic respiration (requires oxygen) and anaerobic respiration (does not require oxygen).

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 net gain of ATP from Glycolysis?

Back

The net gain of ATP from Glycolysis is 2 ATP molecules.

Front

What is the Krebs Cycle also known as?

Back

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