Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the main goal of cellular respiration?

Back

The main goal of cellular respiration is to make ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the energy currency of the cell.

Front

What is known as the "Powerhouse" of the cell?

Back

The mitochondria are known as the "Powerhouse" of the cell because they produce energy through cellular respiration.

Front

Does cellular respiration occur in both plants and animals?

Back

Yes, cellular respiration occurs in both plants and animals.

Front

What are the reactants (ingredients) for cellular respiration?

Back

The reactants for cellular respiration are oxygen and glucose.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a molecule that carries energy within cells.

Front

What is the process of breaking down glucose to produce energy called?

Back

The process of breaking down glucose to produce energy is called cellular respiration.

Front

What are the products of cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

Where does cellular respiration primarily take place in the cell?

Back

Cellular respiration primarily takes place in the mitochondria.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

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

Front

What role does oxygen play in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain during aerobic respiration.
