Front

How does the human body primarily obtain energy?

Back

Food and oxygen combine to deliver energy.

Front

What is a key difference between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide, while cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide.

Front

Which type of organism benefits most from increased levels of CO2?

Back

Front

What is the waste gas produced by cellular respiration?

Back

Carbon dioxide.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

A process that converts glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What are the main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

Glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and Electron Transport Chain.

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 is ATP and why is it important?

Back

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

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

The first stage of cellular respiration that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP.
