AP Bio Cell Respiration

Front

What is the location of ATP synthase in cellular respiration?

Back

ATP synthase is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Front

List the stages of cellular respiration in order.

Back

1. Glycolysis 2. Citric Acid Cycle (Krebs Cycle) 3. Oxidative Phosphorylation

Front

What does it mean if a species is anaerobic?

Back

Anaerobic species do not require oxygen for cellular respiration and may produce byproducts like ethanol or lactic acid.

Front

What is the primary role of oxygen in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen acts as an acceptor for electrons and hydrogen, forming water.

Front

Where is most of the energy from glucose stored at the end of the Krebs cycle?

Back

Most of the energy is stored in NADH.

Front

What are the byproducts of aerobic respiration?

Back

The byproducts of aerobic respiration are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).

Front

What is glycolysis and where does it occur?

Back

Glycolysis is the first stage of cellular respiration that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, occurring in the cytoplasm.

Front

What is the function of NADH in cellular respiration?

Back

NADH carries electrons to the electron transport chain, where it helps produce ATP.

Front

What is oxidative phosphorylation?

Back

Oxidative phosphorylation is the final stage of cellular respiration where ATP is produced using energy from electrons transferred through the electron transport chain.

Front

What is the Krebs Cycle also known as?

Back

The Krebs Cycle is also known as the Citric Acid Cycle.
