Honors Cellular Respiration Review

Front

What is one of the reactants of cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose is one of the primary reactants of cellular respiration.

Front

Where is ATP synthase located in the mitochondrion?

Back

ATP synthase is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Front

What is the process called when hydrogen ions move from the intermembrane space into the mitochondrial matrix?

Back

This process is called chemiosmosis.

Front

Where does glycolysis take place?

Back

Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm.

Front

What are the products of glycolysis along with 2 ATP?

Back

Along with 2 ATP, glycolysis produces 2 pyruvate.

Front

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

The main 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 oxidative phosphorylation.

Front

What is the role of oxygen in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain.

Front

What is produced during the Krebs cycle?

Back

The Krebs cycle produces NADH, FADH2, ATP, and carbon dioxide.

Front

What is the significance of the electron transport chain?

Back

The electron transport chain is significant because it generates a proton gradient that drives ATP synthesis.
