Chapter 6 - How Cells Harvest Energy

Front

Where in the cell does glycolysis occur?

Back

Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.

Front

What is another name for the Citric Acid Cycle?

Back

The Citric Acid Cycle is also known as the Krebs Cycle.

Front

What is the process that involves the Electron Transport Chain?

Back

The Electron Transport Chain is a series of protein complexes that transfer electrons and pump protons to create a proton gradient.

Front

What enzyme phosphorylates ADP to ATP during chemiosmosis?

Back

The enzyme that phosphorylates ADP to ATP during chemiosmosis is ATP synthase.

Front

How many net ATPs are produced in glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis produces a net of 2 ATPs.

Front

What is the main purpose of glycolysis?

Back

The main purpose of glycolysis is to break down glucose into pyruvate, producing energy in the form of ATP.

Front

What are the end products of the Citric Acid Cycle?

Back

The end products of the Citric Acid Cycle are carbon dioxide, ATP, NADH, and FADH2.

Front

What role does oxygen play in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in the Electron Transport Chain, allowing for the production of ATP.

Front

What is chemiosmosis?

Back

Chemiosmosis is the movement of protons across a membrane, driving the synthesis of ATP.

Front

What is the function of NADH in cellular respiration?

Back

NADH carries electrons to the Electron Transport Chain, where they are used to generate ATP.
