Cellular Respiration and Fermentation

Front

What are the raw materials for cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen and glucose are the raw materials for cellular respiration.

Front

What type of fermentation increases gas in food products?

Back

Fermentation producing carbon dioxide and ethanol increases gas in food products.

Front

What are two products of the Krebs Cycle?

Back

ATP and carbon dioxide (CO2) are two products of the Krebs Cycle.

Front

What is the role of oxygen in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen picks up electrons and hydrogen ions at the end of the electron transport chain.

Front

Why do runners breathe hard after a race?

Back

Runners breathe hard to make up for an oxygen deficit.

Front

What is 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 fermentation?

Back

Fermentation is an anaerobic process that converts glucose into energy without using oxygen, producing byproducts like lactic acid or ethanol.

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.

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 lactic acid fermentation?

Back

Lactic acid fermentation is a type of anaerobic respiration that occurs in muscle cells, producing lactic acid and ATP.
