Front

Where does the Krebs Cycle take place?

Back

The Krebs Cycle takes place in the mitochondria.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis is the process of breaking down glucose into pyruvic acid, producing ATP and NADH.

Front

What is the role of ATP in cell respiration?

Back

ATP serves as the energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes.

Front

What is the Kreb's cycle also known as?

Back

The Kreb's cycle is also known as the citric acid cycle or the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle.

Front

What is produced during the Kreb's cycle?

Back

The Kreb's cycle produces ATP, NADH, FADH2, and carbon dioxide.

Front

What is the significance of oxygen in cell respiration?

Back

Oxygen is the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, allowing for the production of ATP.
