Front

What is fermentation?

Back

Fermentation is the process by which cells break down food without using oxygen.

Front

What important cell process is represented by cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells use oxygen to create energy from food.

Front

What are the raw materials (reactants) of cellular respiration?

Back

The raw materials of cellular respiration are glucose (food) and oxygen.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells use oxygen to create energy from food.

Front

What type of energy transformation occurs in photosynthesis?

Back

In photosynthesis, light energy is changed to chemical energy as food.

Front

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

The main purpose of cellular respiration is to convert food into usable energy (ATP) for the cell.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, used to power various cellular processes.

Front

What is the role of oxygen in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen is used to help break down glucose to release energy during cellular respiration.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen.

Front

What are the byproducts of cellular respiration?

Back

The byproducts of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide and water.
