Cell Energy Review

Front

What is Cellular Respiration?

Back

Cellular Respiration is the process by which all living things convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

Where does glycolysis occur?

Back

Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell.

Front

What are the products of glycolysis?

Back

The products of glycolysis are 2 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 pyruvate molecules.

Front

What is the role of water in light-dependent reactions?

Back

Water is split to release oxygen and provide electrons for the electron transport chain.

Front

What is produced during light-dependent reactions?

Back

Light-dependent reactions produce ATP and NADPH, which are used in the Calvin Cycle.

Front

What is the Calvin Cycle also known as?

Back

The Calvin Cycle is also known as the Light Independent Reaction.

Front

What is the main purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

The main purpose of photosynthesis is to convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, used to power various cellular processes.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

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

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2.
