Cellular Respiration Pre-Ap

Front

What is the primary function of NADH and FADH2 in cellular respiration?

Back

They are energy carriers (hydrogen) that use that energy to produce massive amounts of ATP.

Front

What is a key reactant in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen.

Front

What is the main goal of cellular respiration?

Back

To make ATP.

Front

How do photosynthesis and cellular respiration relate to energy transformation?

Back

They both transform energy for an organism to use.

Front

What is the chemical formula for glucose, a reactant in cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6.

Front

What are the three main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, and Electron Transport Chain.

Front

What is produced during glycolysis?

Back

2 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 pyruvate molecules.

Front

Where does the Krebs Cycle occur in the cell?

Back

In the mitochondria.

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 are the end products of cellular respiration?

Back

ATP, carbon dioxide, and water.
