The Citric Acid Cycle.

Front

What is the main job of the electron carriers in cellular respiration?

Back

Transport electrons to the electron transport chain.

Front

Who is the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain?

Back

Oxygen.

Front

What process generates the most ATP?

Back

Aerobic cellular respiration.

Front

What are the products of glycolysis?

Back

Pyruvate, NADH, and ATP.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

The process of breaking down glucose into pyruvate, producing ATP and NADH.

Front

What is the role of ATP in cellular respiration?

Back

ATP serves as the primary energy currency of the cell.

Front

What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

A form of respiration that occurs without oxygen, producing less ATP.

Front

What is fermentation?

Back

A metabolic process that converts sugar to acids, gases, or alcohol in the absence of oxygen.

Front

What is the electron transport chain?

Back

A series of protein complexes that transfer electrons and pump protons to generate ATP.
