What is the Kreb's cycle?

Back

The Kreb's cycle, also known as the citric acid cycle, is a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to generate energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA, producing CO2, NADH, and ATP.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

The two main products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is required for aerobic cellular respiration?

Back

Aerobic cellular respiration requires oxygen to produce energy.

Front

What are the reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

The three reactants of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide, sunlight, and water.

Front

What is produced in the Calvin Cycle?

Back

The Calvin Cycle produces sugar (glucose) as a product.

Front

Define cellular respiration.

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis is the first step of cellular respiration that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP and NADH.

Front

What is the role of NADH in cellular respiration?

Back

NADH is an electron carrier that transports electrons to the electron transport chain, where it helps produce ATP.

Front

What is the electron transport chain?

Back

The electron transport chain is a series of protein complexes in the inner mitochondrial membrane that transfer electrons and pump protons to generate ATP.

Front

What is the significance of oxygen in aerobic respiration?

Back

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