Front

What is a producer in a food chain?

Back

A producer is an organism that makes its own food, typically through photosynthesis. Example: grass.

Front

What is a secondary consumer?

Back

A secondary consumer is an organism that eats primary consumers. Example: a snake that eats a mouse.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the molecule produced by cellular respiration that serves as the 'currency' of energy for cells.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis is the first stage of cellular respiration that occurs in the cytoplasm and does not require oxygen (anaerobic).

Front

What are the stages of cellular respiration in order?

Back

The stages of cellular respiration are glycolysis, the Krebs cycle (Citric acid cycle), and the Electron transport chain.

Front

What is the role of the Krebs cycle?

Back

The Krebs cycle, also known as the Citric acid cycle, is the second stage of cellular respiration that generates energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA.

Front

What is the electron transport chain?

Back

The electron transport chain is the final stage of cellular respiration where ATP is produced using energy from electrons.

Front

What is a primary consumer?

Back

A primary consumer is an organism that eats producers. Example: a rabbit that eats grass.

Front

What is 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 anaerobic respiration?

Back

Anaerobic respiration is a type of respiration that occurs without oxygen, producing less energy than aerobic respiration.
