AP Biology - Cellular Respiration

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The catabolism of glucose to transfer energy to ATP.

Front

Where does the Electron Transport Chain (ETC) occur?

Back

Across the inner mitochondrial membrane, with extra folds called cristae.

Front

What are the products of aerobic cellular respiration?

Back

ATP, Carbon dioxide (CO2), and Water.

Front

Which process produces the least amount of ATP in cells?

Back

Pyruvate Oxidation.

Front

Which of the following statements about Glycolysis is false?

Back

Glycolysis occurs in the mitochondria.

Front

What is the main purpose of Glycolysis?

Back

To break down glucose into pyruvate, producing ATP and NADH.

Front

What is the role of NADH in cellular respiration?

Back

NADH carries electrons to the Electron Transport Chain.

Front

What is the Citric Acid Cycle also known as?

Back

Krebs Cycle.

Front

What is produced during the Citric Acid Cycle?

Back

ATP, NADH, FADH2, and CO2.

Front

What is the final electron acceptor in aerobic respiration?

Back

Oxygen (O2).
