cellular respiration

Front

What is the correct equation for cellular respiration?

Back

6O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆ -> 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Energy

Front

What does aerobic respiration require that anaerobic respiration does not?

Back

Oxygen

Front

What process uses NADH and FADH₂ to produce ATP?

Back

Oxidative phosphorylation

Front

Which process does not occur in aerobic conditions?

Back

Fermentation

Front

What are the outputs of glycolysis?

Back

ATP, Pyruvate, and NADH

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

The first step in cellular respiration that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing ATP and NADH.

Front

What is the Krebs cycle?

Back

A series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to generate energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA.

Front

What is oxidative phosphorylation?

Back

The process in which ATP is formed as electrons are transferred from NADH and FADH₂ to oxygen via the electron transport chain.

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 fermentation?

Back

An anaerobic process that converts glucose into energy without using oxygen, producing byproducts like lactic acid or ethanol.
