Energy and Cellular Respiration: AP Bio

Front

What are the components of the ADP molecule?

Back

The ADP molecule is made up of adenine (A), ribose (B), and two phosphate groups (C).

Front

What characterizes an endergonic reaction?

Back

An endergonic reaction is characterized by a positive ΔG and is nonspontaneous.

Front

Where do prokaryotes perform their electron transport chain?

Back

Prokaryotes perform their electron transport chain on their plasma membrane.

Front

What is the primary requirement for aerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen.

Front

In which part of the mitochondria is the proton concentration highest?

Back

The intermembrane space has the highest proton concentration.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not.

Front

Define 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 role of ATP in cellular processes?

Back

ATP serves as the primary energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various biochemical reactions.

Front

What is the significance of the electron transport chain?

Back

The electron transport chain is crucial for ATP production through oxidative phosphorylation.

Front

What is the function of NADH in cellular respiration?

Back

NADH acts as an electron carrier, transporting electrons to the electron transport chain.
