Cellular Respiration Test Study

Front

What is the process of breaking the outer phosphate bond of ATP called?

Back

This process releases energy.

Front

Who is the final electron acceptor in aerobic respiration?

Back

Oxygen is the final electron acceptor.

Front

What enzyme assists in converting ADP back into ATP?

Back

ATP Synthase is the enzyme that assists in this process.

Front

What is the main product of the complete breakdown of glucose during cellular respiration?

Back

The complete breakdown of glucose yields ATP molecules.

Front

What are the uses of energy released from ATP?

Back

The energy is used to build new molecules, perform life activities, and power chemical reactions.

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 are the three main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

The three main stages are Glycolysis, the Krebs Cycle, and the Electron Transport Chain.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

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

Front

What role does oxygen play in aerobic respiration?

Back

Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, allowing for the production 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.
