Aerobic Respiration

Front

What is aerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration is a metabolic process that requires oxygen to convert glucose into energy, producing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.

Front

Which type of respiration is more efficient in energy production?

Back

Aerobic respiration is more efficient than anaerobic respiration, producing up to 36 ATP molecules from one glucose molecule.

Front

How many ATP molecules are produced during aerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration produces 36 ATP molecules.

Front

What is the primary mechanism of ATP production in the Kreb's Cycle?

Back

The primary mechanism of ATP production in the Kreb's Cycle is substrate-level phosphorylation.

Front

What is the waste energy produced from respiration?

Back

The waste energy from respiration is given off as heat.

Front

What type of respiration does not require oxygen?

Back

Anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen.

Front

What are the main byproducts of aerobic respiration?

Back

The main byproducts of aerobic respiration are carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is the role of oxygen in aerobic respiration?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

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

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis is the first step of both aerobic and anaerobic respiration, where glucose is broken down into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP.
