Photosynthesis, Cellular Respiration and Endosymbiotic Theo Flashcard

Front

What is the primary goal of Cellular Respiration?

Back

The primary goal of Cellular Respiration is to make ATP.

Front

List the steps of Cellular Respiration and their inputs and outputs.

Back

1. Glycolysis: Inputs - glucose; Outputs - pyruvate, ATP, NADH. 2. Krebs Cycle: Inputs - pyruvate; Outputs - CO₂, ATP, NADH, FADH₂. 3. Electron Transport Chain: Inputs - NADH, FADH₂; Outputs - ATP, water.

How do Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis differ in terms of energy?

Back

In Photosynthesis, sunlight is consumed, while in Cellular Respiration, ATP is produced.

Front

What organelles are responsible for Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis occurs in the Chloroplast, while Cellular Respiration occurs in the Mitochondria.

Front

What are the products of Cellular Respiration?

Back

The products of Cellular Respiration are ATP, water, and carbon dioxide.

Front

Define Photosynthesis.

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is the role of ATP in Cellular Respiration?

Back

ATP serves as the main energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes.

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 and NADH.

Front

What occurs during the Krebs Cycle?

Back

The Krebs Cycle processes pyruvate to produce CO₂, ATP, NADH, and FADH₂.

Front

What is the Electron Transport Chain?

Back

The Electron Transport Chain is the final step of Cellular Respiration where electrons are transferred through proteins, leading to the production of ATP and water.
