Front

What is the benefit of anaerobic respiration during sprinting?

Back

ATP can be supplied very rapidly as oxygen is not required.

Front

How many ATP molecules are produced by the Krebs Cycle per glucose molecule?

Back

2 ATP

Front

What is aerobic respiration?

Back

A metabolic process that requires oxygen to produce ATP.

Front

What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

A metabolic process that occurs without oxygen, producing ATP through fermentation.

Front

What are the end products of glycolysis?

Back

2 Pyruvate, 2 ATP, and 2 NADH.

Front

What is the role of NADH in cellular respiration?

Back

NADH carries electrons to the electron transport chain for ATP production.

Front

What is the primary energy source during prolonged exercise?

Back

Aerobic respiration using fat as a fuel source.
