Back

The respiratory system.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

It's how the body uses oxygen and glucose to make energy.

Front

True or False: The body makes oxygen.

Front

In what part of the cell does cellular respiration happen?

Back

Mitochondria.

Front

What is the primary function of the respiratory system?

Back

To take in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide.

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

How does blood doping affect oxygen levels in the body?

Back

Blood doping increases the number of red blood cells, enhancing oxygen transport to muscles.

Front

What is the relationship between glucose and energy production?

Back

Glucose is a key reactant in cellular respiration, providing energy when metabolized.
