Cellular Respiration

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The breakdown of glucose to release ATP.

Front

What conditions does fermentation enable glycolysis to continue under?

Back

Anaerobic conditions.

Front

What is the correct equation for cellular respiration?

Back

6O2 + C6H12O6 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy.

Front

What does it indicate if ADP is phosphorylated?

Back

ADP is forming into ATP.

Front

Where does cellular respiration (Kreb's Cycle and Electron Transport Chain) occur in the cell?

Back

Mitochondria.

Front

What is the role of ATP in cellular respiration?

Back

ATP serves as the primary energy currency of the cell.

Front

What are the three main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

Glycolysis, Kreb's Cycle, and Electron Transport Chain.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

The process of breaking down glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP.

Front

What is the Kreb's 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 that transfer electrons and pump protons to create a proton gradient for ATP synthesis.
