Cellular Respiration

Front

What does metabolism mean?

Back

Converting food into energy

Front

What is the correct equation for cellular respiration?

Back

6O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆ -> 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Energy

Front

What molecule is formed in large amounts during the Electron Transport Chain?

Back

ATP

Front

In which cell organelle does Cellular Respiration occur?

Back

Mitochondria

Front

What is the chemical formula for glucose?

Back

C₆H₁₂O₆

Front

What is the role of oxygen in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in the Electron Transport Chain.

Front

What are the two main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

Glycolysis and Aerobic Respiration (Krebs Cycle and Electron Transport Chain)

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis is the process of breaking down glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP.

Front

What is the Krebs Cycle?

Back

The Krebs Cycle is a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to generate energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA.

Front

What is ATP and why is it important?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes.
