Cellular Respiration

Front

What is Cellular Respiration?

Back

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

Front

What is the main purpose of Cellular Respiration?

Back

The main purpose of cellular respiration is to produce ATP, which is used as energy by cells.

Front

What are the three main stages of Cellular Respiration?

Back

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

Front

Where does Glycolysis occur?

Back

Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.

Front

What is produced during Glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis produces 2 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 pyruvate molecules.

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

How much ATP is produced during the Krebs Cycle?

Back

2 ATP are produced during the Krebs Cycle.

Front

What is Fermentation?

Back

Fermentation is an anaerobic process that allows glycolysis to continue producing ATP when oxygen is not available.

Front

Where does anaerobic respiration occur?

Back

Anaerobic respiration occurs in the cytoplasm.
