Cell Bio Post Midterm Flashcards
1
Q
What drives all energy within the Cell?
A
ATP
2
Q
Why does ATP produce energy?
A
When ATP is hydrolyzed to ADP, it produces energy due to the release of energy from the chemical reaction (exothermic reaction)
3
Q
How do human cells produce ATP
A
Mitochondria produce ATP through Cellular Respiration
4
Q
What form of respiration do anaerobic cells use?
A
Glycolysis
5
Q
Why is glycolysis less efficient than cellular respiration?
A
Glycolysis does not require oxygen and only produces 2 net ATP
6
Q
What differentiates Cellular respiration from glycolysis?
A
The presence of oxygen through an electron transport chain
