Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the purpose of cell respiration?

Back

break down glucose for energy in the presence of oxygen

Front

In which organelle does cellular respiration MOSTLY take place?

Back

mitochondria

Front

What is the balanced chemical equation for cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)

Front

What is the energy produced by cellular respiration called?

Back

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)

Front

What is aerobic respiration?

Back

Respiration that requires oxygen (to produce energy)

Front

What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

Respiration that occurs without oxygen (produces less energy (fermentation))

Front

What are the three stages of cellular respiration?

Back

Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle), and Electron Transport Chain (ETC)

Front

Where does glycolysis occur?

Back

In the cytoplasm

Front

Where do the Krebs Cycle and ETC occur?

Back

The mitochondria

Front

What is the chemical formula for glucose?

Back

C6H12O6
