Cellular Respiration

Front

What is Cellular Respiration?

Back

Cellular Respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What are the main reactants of Cellular Respiration?

Back

The main reactants of Cellular Respiration are glucose and oxygen.

Front

What are the main products of Cellular Respiration?

Back

The main products of Cellular Respiration are carbon dioxide, water, and energy (ATP).

Front

In which organelle does Cellular Respiration occur?

Back

Cellular Respiration occurs in the mitochondria.

Front

What is the role of mitochondria in Cellular Respiration?

Back

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell, where the conversion of glucose into energy takes place.

Front

How is Cellular Respiration different from Photosynthesis?

Back

Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis are opposite processes; Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, while Cellular Respiration converts glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, produced during Cellular Respiration.

Front

What is the chemical equation for Cellular Respiration?

Back

The chemical equation for Cellular Respiration is: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (ATP).

Front

What happens to glucose during Cellular Respiration?

Back

During Cellular Respiration, glucose is broken down to release energy.

Front

What is aerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration is a type of Cellular Respiration that requires oxygen to produce energy.
