Cellular Respiration

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

Where does aerobic respiration take place?

Back

Aerobic respiration takes place in the mitochondria.

Front

How many carbons are in glucose?

Back

Glucose contains 6 carbon atoms.

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

6O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Energy

Front

What are the reactants of cellular respiration?

Back

The reactants of cellular respiration are glucose and oxygen.

Front

What are the products of cellular respiration?

Back

The products of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide, water, and energy.

Front

What is the role of oxygen in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen is essential for aerobic respiration as it acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain.

Front

What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

Anaerobic respiration is the process of producing energy without oxygen, resulting in products like lactic acid or ethanol.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and produces more energy, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen and produces less energy.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, used to power various cellular processes.
