Aerobic Cellular Respiration Flashcards
1
Q
Where does aerobic cellular respiration occur?
A
Mitochondria
2
Q
What does aerobic cellular respiration do?
A
Makes energy for cells (active transport, protein synthesis)
3
Q
What are the stage names of aerobic cellular respiration, and where do they occur?
A
Stage 1: Glycolysis in the cytoplasm
Stage 2: The Krebs Cycle in the matrix
Stage 3: Electron transport chain in the cristae
4
Q
How much ATP does each stage create?
A
1: 2
2: 2
3: 26 or 28
Altogether: 30 or 32 ATP
5
Q
Which stage is used in aerobic and anaerobic cellular respiration, and why?
A
Glycolysis, because no oxygen is required.
