Gabe's Flashcard

Front

What is one of the three products of cellular respiration?

Back

ATP is one of the main products of cellular respiration, which is essential for energy transfer in cells.

Front

What is the function of stomata in leaves?

Back

Stomata are small openings on the leaf surface that allow carbon dioxide to enter and oxygen to exit, facilitating gas exchange.

Front

Does cellular respiration store or release energy?

Back

Cellular respiration releases energy by breaking down glucose and other organic molecules.

Front

Where do the light reactions of photosynthesis occur?

Back

The light reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts.

Front

What type of bacteria thrive in warm temperatures?

Back

Thermophilic bacteria thrive in warm temperatures, often found in hot springs and other heated environments.

Front

What is the primary purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

The primary purpose of cellular respiration is to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP.

Front

What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration?

Back

The chemical equation for cellular respiration is C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP.

Front

What role does oxygen play in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, allowing for the production of ATP.

Front

What are the three main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

The three main stages of cellular respiration are Glycolysis, the Krebs Cycle, and the Electron Transport Chain.

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.
