Cellular Respiration

Front

What is Cellular Respiration?

Back

Cellular Respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the main purpose of the Electron Transport Chain?

Back

The main purpose of the Electron Transport Chain is to transfer energy to form a large amount of ATP.

Front

Where does Cellular Respiration occur in the cell?

Back

Cellular Respiration occurs in the mitochondria.

Front

What is Glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis is the first step of cellular respiration that breaks down glucose into pyruvic acid, producing a small amount of ATP.

Front

What is the Krebs Cycle?

Back

The Krebs Cycle, also known as the Citric Acid Cycle, is a series of chemical reactions that further breaks down pyruvic acid to produce ATP, NADH, and FADH2.

Front

What is produced at the end of the Electron Transport Chain?

Back

Water is produced at the end of the Electron Transport Chain by the combination of oxygen and hydrogen.

Front

What is the chemical formula for oxygen?

Back

The chemical formula for oxygen is O2.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, used to power various cellular processes.

Front

What role does oxygen play in Cellular Respiration?

Back

Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in the Electron Transport Chain, allowing for the production of ATP.

Front

What are the main products of Cellular Respiration?

Back

The main products of Cellular Respiration are ATP, carbon dioxide, and water.
