Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

Which organisms perform cellular respiration?

Back

Both animals and plants perform cellular respiration.

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

6O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Energy

Front

Where does glycolysis occur in the cell?

Back

Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm.

Front

In which organelle does cellular respiration primarily take place?

Back

Cellular respiration primarily takes place in the mitochondria.

Front

How do photosynthesis and cellular respiration differ in terms of carbon dioxide?

Back

Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide, while cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide.

Front

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

The main purpose of cellular respiration is to produce ATP, the energy currency of the cell.

Front

What are the byproducts of cellular respiration?

Back

The byproducts of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What role does oxygen play in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen is a reactant in cellular respiration and is essential for the production of ATP in aerobic respiration.

Front

What is ATP and why is it important?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes.
