Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the balanced chemical equation for cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy (ATP)

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

They are opposite reactions. The raw materials for one reaction are the products of the other reaction.

Front

What waste gas is produced during cellular respiration?

Back

Carbon dioxide (CO2)

Front

What is the energy produced by respiration called?

Back

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)

Front

Where in the cell does cellular respiration occur?

Back

Mitochondria

Front

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

To convert glucose into usable energy (ATP) for the cell.

Front

What are the two main types of cellular respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration.

Front

What is aerobic respiration?

Back

A type of respiration that requires oxygen to produce energy.

Front

What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

A type of respiration that occurs without oxygen, producing less energy.

Front

What is the role of glucose in cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose is the primary fuel that is broken down to release energy.
