Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

6O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Energy

Front

How do photosynthesis and cellular respiration differ?

Back

Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide, while cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide.

Front

What causes muscle soreness after intense activity?

Back

The accumulation of lactic acid.

Front

What happens when a phosphate group is removed from an ATP molecule?

Back

A substantial amount of energy is released.

Front

Who performs cellular respiration?

Back

Both autotrophs and heterotrophs.

Front

What is the primary purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

To convert glucose into usable energy (ATP).

Front

What are the main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, and Electron Transport Chain.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

The process of breaking down glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP.

Front

Where does the Krebs Cycle occur?

Back

In the mitochondria of cells.

Front

What is produced during the Krebs Cycle?

Back

Carbon dioxide, ATP, NADH, and FADH₂.
