Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

6O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Energy

Front

Where does cellular respiration take place in the cell?

Back

Mitochondria

Front

How do photosynthesis and cellular respiration differ in terms of carbon dioxide?

Back

Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide, while cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide.

Front

Front

What process releases chemical energy from sugars to make ATP when oxygen is present?

Back

Cellular respiration

Front

What is the primary function of cellular respiration?

Back

To convert biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP.

Front

What are the main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, and Electron Transport Chain.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

The first step of cellular respiration that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP.

Front

What is the role of mitochondria in cellular respiration?

Back

Mitochondria are the sites where the Krebs Cycle and Electron Transport Chain occur.

Front

What is ATP and why is it important?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, used to power various cellular processes.
