What is the first step of cellular respiration?

Back

Glycolysis is the first step of cellular respiration, where glucose is broken down into pyruvate.

Front

In a chemical reaction, what is conserved?

Back

Both matter and energy are conserved in a chemical reaction.

Front

What do enzymes do to the rate of chemical reactions?

Back

Enzymes increase the rate of chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy.

Front

What does 'Auto' mean in biological terms?

Back

'Auto' means 'self', indicating processes that occur independently.

Front

What is a characteristic of life that a rose bush exhibits?

Back

A rose bush requires energy to grow and sustain itself.

Front

What is the role of glycolysis in cellular respiration?

Back

Glycolysis breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing ATP and NADH.

Front

What is the Krebs Cycle?

Back

The Krebs Cycle, also known as the citric acid cycle, is a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to generate energy.

Front

What is the function of the electron transport chain (ETC)?

Back

The ETC is responsible for producing ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.

Front

What is the definition of autotroph?

Back

An autotroph is an organism that produces its own food from inorganic substances.

Front

What is the significance of energy conservation in chemical reactions?

Back

Energy conservation ensures that the total energy before and after a reaction remains constant, adhering to the law of conservation of energy.
