Aerobic Cellular Respiration (Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, ETC)

Front

What is aerobic cellular respiration?

Back

Aerobic cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What are the three main stages of aerobic cellular respiration?

Back

The three main stages are Glycolysis, the Krebs Cycle, and the Electron Transport Chain (ETC).

Front

Where does glycolysis occur in the cell?

Back

Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.

Front

What is the main product of glycolysis?

Back

The main product of glycolysis is pyruvate, along with a small amount of ATP and NADH.

Front

What is the Krebs Cycle also known as?

Back

The Krebs Cycle is also known as the Citric Acid Cycle.

Front

Where does the Krebs Cycle take place?

Back

The Krebs Cycle takes place in the mitochondria of the cell.

Front

What are the main products of the Krebs Cycle?

Back

The main products of the Krebs Cycle are ATP, NADH, FADH2, and carbon dioxide.

Front

What is the role of NADH and FADH2 in cellular respiration?

Back

NADH and FADH2 are electron carriers that transport electrons to the Electron Transport Chain.

Front

Where does the Electron Transport Chain occur?

Back

The Electron Transport Chain occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Front

What is the final electron acceptor in the Electron Transport Chain?

Back

The final electron acceptor in the Electron Transport Chain is oxygen.
