Honors Ch. 6 Cellular Respiration

Front

What are the end products of the KREBS cycle?

Back

The end products include carbon dioxide, ATP, and NADH, but not pyruvic acid.

Front

Where does Glycolysis occur inside the cell?

Back

Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm.

Front

How can the functioning of an electron transport chain be analogized?

Back

It can be compared to a slinky going downstairs.

Front

Where is the energy in ATP stored?

Back

The energy in ATP is stored in the bond between the second and third phosphate.

Front

What are the two types of fermentation?

Back

The two types of fermentation are alcohol fermentation and lactic acid fermentation.

Front

What is Cellular Respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the role of NADH in cellular respiration?

Back

NADH acts as an electron carrier, transporting electrons to the electron transport chain.

Front

What is the main purpose of the KREBS cycle?

Back

The main purpose of the KREBS cycle is to produce electron carriers (NADH and FADH2) and ATP from the breakdown of acetyl-CoA.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of the electron transport chain?

Back

The electron transport chain is crucial for producing the majority of ATP during cellular respiration.
