What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in the cell?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of the cell.

Front

What is the role of oxygen in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen is essential for cellular respiration as it helps to break down glucose to release energy.

Front

What happens to cellular respiration if there is a lack of oxygen?

Back

If there is a lack of oxygen, cellular respiration becomes less efficient, leading to less energy production.

Front

What are the main products of cellular respiration?

Back

The main products of cellular respiration are energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the relationship between food and cellular respiration?

Back

Food provides the glucose needed for cellular respiration to produce energy.

Front

What is the function of mitochondria in cells?

Back

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell because they produce energy through cellular respiration.

Front

How do cells obtain the oxygen needed for respiration?

Back

Cells obtain oxygen through the respiratory system, which brings oxygen from the air into the bloodstream.

Front

What is the importance of glucose in cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose is a key energy source for cells, and it is broken down during cellular respiration to release energy.

Front

What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

Anaerobic respiration is a type of respiration that occurs without oxygen, producing less energy and different byproducts.
