Cellular Respiration

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

Do only animals perform cellular respiration?

Back

No, all organisms, including plants, perform cellular respiration.

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in eukaryotic cells?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondrion.

Front

What gas is produced during cellular respiration?

Back

Carbon dioxide is produced during cellular respiration.

Front

What is the correct equation for cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon dioxide + Water + ATP.

Front

What are the main products of cellular respiration?

Back

The main products of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide, water, and energy (ATP).

Front

What is the role of glucose in cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose serves as the primary fuel for cellular respiration, providing the energy needed for the process.

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.

Front

How do plants perform cellular respiration?

Back

Plants perform cellular respiration using glucose produced during photosynthesis, along with oxygen.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and produces more energy, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen and produces less energy.
