Cell Respiration

Front

Which cell organelle carries out cell respiration?

Back

Mitochondria are the cell organelles responsible for carrying out cell respiration, converting glucose and oxygen into energy.

Front

What are the products of cell respiration?

Back

The products of cell respiration are ATP, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the chemical equation for glucose?

Back

C6H12O6 is the chemical formula for glucose.

Front

What are the reactants for the Electron Transport Chain (ETC)?

Back

NADH, FADH2, and oxygen are all reactants for the Electron Transport Chain.

Front

What is a product of the Kreb's cycle?

Back

The Kreb's cycle produces carbon dioxide (CO2), NADH, FADH2, and ATP.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

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

Front

What role does oxygen play in cell respiration?

Back

Oxygen is essential for aerobic respiration as it acts as the final electron acceptor in the Electron Transport Chain.

Front

What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

Anaerobic respiration is a type of respiration that occurs without oxygen, producing less energy and resulting in byproducts like lactic acid or ethanol.

Front

What is the main purpose of cell respiration?

Back

The main purpose of cell respiration is to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP, which cells use for energy.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis is the first step of cell respiration, where glucose is broken down into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP.
