Front

Which of these is not an example of how substances move within cells?

Back

Cell cycle.

Front

What is the method by which a cell's cytoplasm divides called?

Back

Cytokinesis.

Front

What type of process is glycolysis in the first stage of respiration?

Back

Anaerobic.

Front

What is the primary function of the electron transport chain in cellular respiration?

Back

To produce ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.

Front

What are the end products of glycolysis?

Back

2 pyruvate, 2 ATP, and 2 NADH.

Front

What is the role of NADH in cellular respiration?

Back

To carry electrons to the electron transport chain.

Front

What is fermentation and why is it important?

Back

Fermentation is an anaerobic process that allows for the regeneration of NAD+ for glycolysis.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not.
