Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the primary goal of cellular respiration?

Back

The primary goal of cellular respiration is to make ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

Front

What is the chemical formula for oxygen?

Back

O2 is the chemical formula for oxygen.

Front

Which equation represents the process of cellular respiration?

Back

The equation for cellular respiration is: sugar + oxygen -> water + carbon dioxide + energy.

Front

What is the balanced equation for cellular respiration?

Back

The balanced equation for cellular respiration is: 6O2 + C6H12O6 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy.

Front

What is the function of stomata in leaves?

Back

Stomata are structures on a leaf that allow gases to flow in and out.

Front

What is ATP and why is it important in cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What are the main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

The main stages of cellular respiration are Glycolysis, the Krebs Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle), and the Electron Transport Chain.

Front

Where does glycolysis occur in the cell?

Back

Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.

Front

What is produced during glycolysis?

Back

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

Front

What role does oxygen play in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, allowing for the production of ATP.
