Honors Test: Cell Respiration and Photosynthesis

Front

What is the equation for Cellular Respiration?

Back

O2 + Sugar -> CO2 + H2O + ATP

Front

Where does cellular respiration primarily occur in animal cells?

Back

Mitochondria

Front

What two processes provide most of the energy for life processes?

Back

Cellular respiration and photosynthesis

Front

Where does glycolysis take place in a cell?

Back

Cytoplasm

Front

What is the process that releases energy by breaking down glucose using oxygen?

Back

Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

To convert glucose into usable energy (ATP) for the cell.

Front

What are the byproducts of cellular respiration?

Back

Carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).

Front

What is the role of mitochondria in cellular respiration?

Back

Mitochondria are the sites where cellular respiration occurs, producing ATP.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

The first step in cellular respiration that breaks down glucose into pyruvate.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not.
