Front

What is the role of NADH and FADH2 in cellular respiration?

Back

They transport electrons to the electron transport chain.

Front

What are the three main stages of cellular respiration?

Front

Define cellular respiration.

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

The first stage of cellular respiration that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP.

Front

What is the Krebs cycle?

Back

A series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to generate energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA.

Front

What is the electron transport chain?

Back

A series of protein complexes in the inner mitochondrial membrane that transfer electrons and pump protons to generate ATP.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

Adenosine triphosphate, the main energy currency of the cell.
