Aerobic Respiration gb

Front

What is the main goal of cellular respiration?

Back

The main goal of cellular respiration is to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the energy currency of the cell.

Front

What type of respiration requires oxygen?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen.

Front

What are the waste products of aerobic cellular respiration?

Back

The waste products of aerobic cellular respiration are carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What molecule is often represented as a yellow starburst in diagrams of cellular respiration?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is often represented as a yellow starburst.

Front

How would you best describe aerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration converts the energy in food molecules into a usable form (ATP) using oxygen.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a molecule that carries energy within cells.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not.

Front

What is produced during aerobic respiration?

Back

During aerobic respiration, glucose is broken down to produce ATP, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

Why is oxygen important for aerobic respiration?

Back

Oxygen is important for aerobic respiration because it acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, allowing ATP to be produced efficiently.

Front

What role does glucose play in cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose serves as the primary fuel source that is broken down during cellular respiration to release energy.
