Cellular Respiration

Front

What are the two reactants of cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 (glucose) & 6O2 (oxygen)

Front

What are the inputs (reactants) of photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide, water, sunlight

Front

In which way are photosynthesis and cellular respiration similar?

Back

Both processes transfer energy from one form to another.

Front

How do cells get energy to perform their necessary functions?

Back

Cells get energy by taking in nutrients from food.

Front

What happens to the energy stored in glucose?

Back

It is transferred to ATP.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

A metabolic process that converts glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

Adenosine triphosphate, the energy currency of the cell.

Front

What is the role of oxygen in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen is used to help convert glucose into ATP during aerobic respiration.

Front

What are the three main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

Glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and Electron Transport Chain.

Front

Where does glycolysis occur?

Back

In the cytoplasm of the cell.
