Cellular Respiration (Overview) w/fermentation

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process that releases energy from food in the presence of oxygen.

Front

Which process is NOT part of cellular respiration?

Back

The Calvin Cycle is NOT a step in cellular respiration.

Front

What is the purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis deposits energy from light into glucose ('food') in the presence of carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is the purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration withdraws energy from glucose to produce ATP in the presence of oxygen.

Front

Which step of cellular respiration can be performed by both prokaryotes and eukaryotes?

Back

Glycolysis can be performed by both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

Front

Where does the electron transport chain occur?

Back

The electron transport chain occurs in the mitochondria.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

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

Front

What are the main products of the Krebs Cycle?

Back

The main products of the Krebs Cycle are ATP, NADH, and FADH2.

Front

What is oxidative phosphorylation?

Back

Oxidative phosphorylation is the process of ATP production that occurs in the electron transport chain, using energy from electrons.

Front

What role do NADH and FADH2 play in cellular respiration?

Back

NADH and FADH2 are electron carriers that transport electrons to the electron transport chain.
