Front

Where does most of cellular respiration take place?

Back

Mitochondria

Front

What is the difference between glycolysis and aerobic respiration?

Back

Glycolysis occurs in the absence of oxygen, while aerobic respiration requires oxygen.

Front

Which student best classified the energy conversions that occur in photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Student 4

Front

What molecule is represented by ATP?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the primary energy carrier in cells.

Front

Where does photosynthesis take place?

Back

Chloroplasts

Front

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

To convert glucose into usable energy (ATP) for the cell.

Front

What are the two main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

Glycolysis and the Krebs cycle (Citric Acid Cycle).

Front

What is produced during glycolysis?

Back

2 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 pyruvate molecules.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to drive the photosynthesis process.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.
