Cell Respiration

Front

What is the main purpose of cell respiration?

Back

To convert glucose into ATP, providing energy for cellular processes.

Front

What are the three main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, and Electron Transport Chain.

Front

Where does glycolysis occur in the cell?

Back

In the cytoplasm.

Front

What is the end product of glycolysis?

Back

2 molecules of pyruvate, 2 ATP, and 2 NADH.

Front

What is the role of NAD⁺ in cellular respiration?

Back

It acts as an electron carrier, helping to transfer electrons during the redox reactions.

Front

What is produced during the Krebs Cycle?

Back

2 ATP, 6 NADH, 2 FADH₂, and carbon dioxide.

Front

What is the significance of the mitochondria in cellular respiration?

Back

Mitochondria are the site of the Krebs Cycle and Electron Transport Chain, where ATP is produced.

Front

What is aerobic respiration?

Back

A type of respiration that requires oxygen to produce ATP.

Front

What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

A type of respiration that occurs without oxygen, producing less ATP.

Front

What is the net gain of ATP from glycolysis?

Back

2 ATP molecules.
