Cellular Respiration LE

Front

What is the energy currency for cells?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the energy currency for cells, providing the energy needed for various cellular processes.

Front

What are the main reactants in cellular respiration?

Back

The main reactants in cellular respiration are glucose and oxygen.

Front

What are the main products of cellular respiration?

Back

The main products of cellular respiration are water, carbon dioxide, and ATP.

Front

How does cellular respiration differ from photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What role does ATP play in cellular processes?

Back

ATP provides the energy required for building molecules and powering cellular activities.

Front

What is the process of cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the significance of glucose in cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose is a primary source of energy for cells and is broken down during cellular respiration to produce ATP.

Front

What is the role of oxygen in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen is essential for cellular respiration as it acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, allowing ATP production.

Front

What is fermentation?

Back

Fermentation is an anaerobic process that allows cells to produce energy without oxygen, resulting in products like lactic acid or ethanol.

Front

What is the relationship between cellular respiration and metabolism?

Back

Cellular respiration is a key part of metabolism, which encompasses all chemical reactions in the body, including energy production.
