Anaerobic respiration

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells use oxygen to create energy from food.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Front

What is the role of mitochondria in cellular respiration?

Back

Mitochondria are the organelles where cellular respiration occurs, producing ATP.

Front

What is ATP and why is it important?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, used for various cellular processes.

Front

What is aerobic respiration?

Back

A process that requires oxygen to produce energy from food.

Front

What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

A process that occurs without oxygen, producing less energy and byproducts like lactic acid.
