Inner mitochondrial membrane

Front

Which of the following is not a byproduct of the Krebs Cycle? H2O, CO2, ATP, NADH

Back

H2O

Front

How many ATP are produced during the Krebs Cycle?

Back

2

Front

What is the name of the compound numbered 1 in the Krebs Cycle?

Back

Pyruvate

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the role of NADH in cellular respiration?

Back

NADH carries electrons to the electron transport chain, where they are used to produce ATP.

Front

What is the main purpose of the Krebs Cycle?

Back

To produce electron carriers (NADH and FADH2) and ATP for the electron transport chain.

Front

What is the starting molecule for the Krebs Cycle?

Back

Acetyl-CoA

Front

What are the three main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, and Electron Transport Chain.
