cellular respiration

Front

What is the correct equation for cellular respiration?

Back

@@6O_2 + C_6H_{12}O_6 ightarrow 6CO_2 + 6H_2O + Energy@@

Front

What is the main difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not.

Front

Where is the energy in ATP stored?

Back

In the bond between the second and third phosphate.

Front

What role do NADH and FADH2 play in cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What happens to the carbon atoms in glucose during cellular respiration?

Back

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

A metabolic process that converts glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What are the three main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, and Electron Transport Chain.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

The first step of cellular respiration that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP.

Front

What is the Krebs Cycle?

Back

A series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to generate energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA.

Front

What is the Electron Transport Chain?

Back

A series of protein complexes in the inner mitochondrial membrane that transfer electrons and produce ATP.
