Cellular Respiration

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is a biochemical process in which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

Which organisms undergo cellular respiration?

Back

Both animals and plants undergo cellular respiration.

Front

What is the chemical formula for glucose?

Back

C6H12O6

Front

What is the primary purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

The primary purpose of cellular respiration is to produce ATP, the energy currency of the cell.

Front

What are the main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

The main stages of cellular respiration are Glycolysis, the Krebs Cycle, and the Electron Transport Chain.

Front

Where does glycolysis occur in the cell?

Back

Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.

Front

What is produced during glycolysis?

Back

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

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 chemical formula for carbon dioxide?

Back

CO2

Front

What is formed at the end of the Electron Transport Chain?

Back

Water is formed at the end of the Electron Transport Chain by the combination of oxygen and hydrogen.
