AP Biology - Cellular Respiration

Front

What are the main electron carriers in the electron transport chain during cellular respiration?

Back

NADH and FADH2 are the main electron carriers in the electron transport chain.

Front

What does the phosphorylation of ADP indicate in cellular respiration?

Back

The phosphorylation of ADP indicates that ADP is forming into ATP.

Front

What type of respiration occurs without the presence of oxygen?

Back

Anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen.

Front

What type of process is glycolysis classified as?

Back

Glycolysis is classified as a catabolic process.

Front

Where is the electrochemical gradient of protons generated in the electron transport chain?

Back

The electrochemical gradient of protons is generated in the intermembrane space.

Front

What is the primary purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

The primary purpose of cellular respiration is to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP.

Front

What are the three main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

The three main stages of cellular respiration are Glycolysis, the Krebs Cycle, and the Electron Transport Chain.

Front

What is the role of oxygen in aerobic respiration?

Back

Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain during aerobic respiration.

Front

What is produced during glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis produces 2 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 pyruvate molecules.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not.
