D.E Bio Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the main purpose of fermentation?

Back

To replenish NAD+ for glycolysis.

Front

Where does the Electron Transport Chain (ETC) occur in the cell?

Back

Across the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Front

What are the extra folds in the inner mitochondrial membrane called?

Back

Cristae.

Front

What does it mean to phosphorylate ADP?

Back

To add a phosphate group (P) to ADP, forming ATP and increasing the free energy of the molecule.

Front

What process is common to both aerobic and anaerobic metabolism?

Back

Glycolysis.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The catabolism of glucose to transfer energy to ATP.

Front

What are the three main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

Glycolysis, Krebs cycle (Citric Acid Cycle), and Electron Transport Chain.

Front

What is the role of NAD+ in cellular respiration?

Back

NAD+ acts as an electron carrier, facilitating the transfer of electrons during metabolic reactions.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen.

Front

What is produced during glycolysis?

Back

2 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 pyruvate molecules.
