Front

What are the products of cellular respiration?

Back

Water and carbon dioxide.

Front

What type of respiration uses oxygen?

Back

Aerobic respiration.

Front

What does glycolysis end with and why?

Back

Pyruvic acid because glucose cannot enter the mitochondria.

Front

What are the reactants of cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the total ATP outcome of glycolysis and what is the net outcome?

Back

4 ATP; net outcome is 2 ATP.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

The process of breaking down glucose to produce energy.

Front

Where does glycolysis occur?

Back

In the cytoplasm of the cell.

Front

What is the first step of glycolysis?

Back

The phosphorylation of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate.

Front

What is the role of NAD+ in glycolysis?

Back

It acts as an electron carrier, becoming NADH.

Front
