Front

What gas is required for aerobic respiration?

Back

Oxygen

Front

What is the main energy currency of the cell?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)

Front

What is the process of breaking down glucose to produce energy in the absence of oxygen?

Back

Anaerobic respiration

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and Calvin cycle

Front

What is the role of mitochondria in cellular respiration?

Back

Mitochondria produce ATP through the process of cellular respiration.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not.
