9th Grade Cellular Respiration

Front

In what organelle does cellular respiration occur?

Back

Mitochondria

Front

In the absence of oxygen, cells will do this process after performing Glycolysis to release energy.

Back

Fermentation

Which type of organisms can perform Cellular Respiration?

Back

Both plants and animals

Front

What is the correct equation of cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen + Glucose -> Carbon Dioxide + Water + ATP

Front

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

To convert glucose into usable energy (ATP).

Front

What are the three main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

Glycolysis, Kreb Cycle, Electron Transport Chain.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

The first step of cellular respiration that breaks down glucose into pyruvate.

Front

What is the Kreb Cycle?

Back

A series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to generate energy.

Front

What is the Electron Transport Chain?

Back

A sequence of proteins in the inner mitochondrial membrane that generates ATP.
