Photosynthesis/Cellular Respiration - BIO

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

6O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆ -> 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Energy

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells break down glucose into energy.

Front

What are the reactants of cellular respiration?

Back

C₆H₁₂O₆ (glucose) and 6O₂ (oxygen)

Front

What are the products of cellular respiration?

Back

6CO₂ (carbon dioxide), 6H₂O (water), and energy (ATP)

Front

How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?

Back

The reactants of cellular respiration are obtained from the products of photosynthesis.

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in the cell?

Back

In the mitochondria.

Front

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

To convert biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

Adenosine triphosphate, the energy currency of the cell.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not.

Front

What is fermentation?

Back

A type of anaerobic respiration that occurs in the absence of oxygen.
