Cellular Respiration

Question 1

Cellular Respiration

Answer 1

Important metabolic pathway that extracts energy (ATP) from nutrient molecules (i.e. glucose) with the use of Oxygen (O2)

Question 2

Type of reaction of cellular respiration

Answer 2

Exothermic (exogonic) - releases energy

Catabolic pathway

Question 3

Catabolic Pathway

Answer 3

Phase of metabolism where a large, complex, energy-rich molecule is broken down into smaller, energy-poor inorganic molecules

Question 4

Glucose

Answer 4

Comes from nutrients (carbohydrates) via digestion

Energy-rich molecules that is oxidized to produce ATP

Question 5

Oxygen

Answer 5

Comes from atmosphere. Is inhaled and transported via respiratory structures

Final electron acceptor. All O2 gets reduced to produce water

Question 6

Carbon Dioxide

Answer 6

Produced by decarboxylation reaction of glucose

Exhaled via respiratory structures (player in photosynthesis)

Question 7

Water

Answer 7

Produced by oxygen reduction

Exhaled via respiratory structures (player in photosynthesis)
