AP Bio Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the site of ATP synthase?

Back

ATP synthase is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Front

Where does glycolysis occur?

Back

Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol.

Front

What is NADH?

Back

NADH is the reduced form of NAD+.

Front

What enzyme in the electron transport chain (ETC) generates ATP molecules?

Back

ATP synthase is the enzyme responsible for generating ATP in the ETC.

Front

Who is the final electron acceptor in aerobic respiration?

Back

The final electron acceptor in aerobic respiration is oxygen.

Front

What is the primary purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

The primary purpose of cellular respiration is to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP.

Front

What are the three main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

The three main stages of cellular respiration are Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle), and Electron Transport Chain.

Front

What is the role of oxygen in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, allowing for the production of ATP.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen.

Front

What is produced during glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis produces 2 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 pyruvate molecules.
