Energy Transfer

Front

What is NAD+?

Back

NAD+ is a coenzyme that accepts electrons during cellular respiration.

Front

What is NADH?

Back

NADH is the reduced form of NAD+ and carries electrons to the electron transport chain.

Front

What is chemiosmosis?

Back

Chemiosmosis is the movement of ions across a selectively permeable membrane, crucial for ATP production.

Front

What is aerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration is the process of breaking down pyruvate in the presence of oxygen to produce ATP.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which food molecules are converted into energy (ATP) in cells.

Front

What are grana?

Back

Grana are stacks of thylakoid membranes found in chloroplasts, where photosynthesis occurs.

Front

What is the role of ATP in energy transfer?

Back

ATP serves as the primary energy carrier in cells, providing energy for various cellular processes.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis is the first step in cellular respiration, breaking down glucose into pyruvate.

Front

What is the function of thylakoids?

Back

Thylakoids are membrane-bound structures in chloroplasts where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place.
