CELLULAR RESPIRATION Flashcards
what is cell respiration
Complex process in which cells make ATP by breaking down organic compounds (specifically glucose)
Both autotrophs and heterotrophs undergo cellular respiration to break these organic compounds into simpler molecules and thus release energy
what is ATP
describe the process of cellular respiration
what is glycolysis and what occurs during this process
What happens when you exercise muscles in the absence of oxygen?
What is the process that occurs after glycolysis if there is oxygen?
Which stage of the process produces CO2?
What are the two main stages of cellular respiration? What are the three specific stages?
glycolysis and aerobic
aerobic: Krebs and ETC
What is the order of events in Cellular Respiration?
What are the products of Glycolysis?
Which molecules bring electrons to the ETC?
what is the Krebs cycle
Which products of glycolysis go into the Krebs cycle?
What are the products of the Krebs Cycle?
Which stage of the process produces water?
What happens to the electrons at the end of the electron transport chain (ETC)?
Which stage of cellular respiration makes the most ATP?
Where does Glycolysis occur?
Where do the Krebs Cycle and ETC occur?
Which stages of cell respiration are anaerobic? Where do they occur? Which are aerobic, and where do
they occur?
anaerobic: Krebs cycle and ETC
aerobic: glycolysis
What happens to the ATP that cells produce?
what does anaerobic mean
without oxygen
what kind of organisms do glycolysis
prokaryotes
what does aerobic mean
with oxygen
