Cellular Respiration

Front

What are the three main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

Glycolysis, Krebs cycle, Electron transport chain.

Front

What happens to pyruvate after glycolysis when oxygen is present?

Back

It enters the Krebs cycle.

Front

What is the primary energy currency produced during cellular respiration?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate).

Front

Which process produces carbon dioxide as a byproduct?

Back

Krebs Cycle.

Front

What does the term 'aerobic' mean in the context of cellular respiration?

Back

With oxygen.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of the electron transport chain in cellular respiration?

Back

It uses electrons from NADH and FADH2 to create a proton gradient that drives ATP synthesis.

Front

What is produced during the Krebs cycle besides ATP?

Back

NADH, FADH2, and carbon dioxide.

Front

What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

A form of respiration that occurs without oxygen, resulting in products like lactic acid or ethanol.

Front

How many ATP molecules are produced from one glucose molecule during cellular respiration?

Back

Up to 38 ATP molecules, depending on the efficiency of the process.
