Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the process of breaking the outer phosphate bond of ATP called?

Back

This process releases energy, which is used for various cellular activities.

Front

What enzyme assists ADP in cycling back into ATP when energy is available?

Back

ATP Synthase.

Front

What are the uses of energy released from ATP?

Back

The energy is used to build new molecules, perform life activities, and power chemical reactions.

Front

Where does the Krebs cycle occur in the cell?

Back

In the mitochondrial matrix.

Front

What is the NET total of ATP molecules created during glycolysis?

Back

2 ATP molecules.

Front

What is ATP and why is it important for cellular processes?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the primary energy carrier in cells, providing energy for various biochemical reactions.

Front

What is glycolysis and where does it occur?

Back

Glycolysis is the first step of cellular respiration that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, occurring in the cytoplasm.

Front

What are the main products of the Krebs cycle?

Back

The main products are ATP, NADH, FADH2, and carbon dioxide.

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 is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and produces more ATP, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen and produces less ATP.
