What is the primary function of mitochondria in cells?

Back

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell, where cellular respiration occurs to produce energy from glucose.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose into energy.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not use oxygen.

Front

Where does cellular respiration take place in the cell?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria.

Front

What is the main product of cellular respiration?

Back

The main product of cellular respiration is ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is used for energy.

Front

What is the role of glucose in cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

The equation for cellular respiration is: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (ATP).

Front

What is the byproduct of cellular respiration?

Back

The byproducts of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide and water.

Front

How does cellular respiration relate to photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, which are used in cellular respiration to produce energy.

Front

What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

Anaerobic respiration is a type of respiration that occurs without oxygen, often resulting in less energy production.
