General Knowledge

Question 1

What is cellular respiration?

Answer 1

The process in which organisms take molecules broken down from food and release chemical energy stored in the chemical bonds of those molecules.

Question 2

What type of organisms undergo cellular respiration?

Answer 2

Both heterotrophs and autotrophs. only autotrophs undergo photosynthesis.

Question 3

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Answer 3

66H12O6 + 6O2 ==> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy(38 ATP)

Question 4

what is the folded inner membrane called in the mitochondria

Answer 4

the folded inner-membrane is called the cristae.

Question 5

what is the cytoplasm like center of the mitochondria called?

Answer 5

the center is called the matrix

Question 6

what are the steps of cellular respiration

Answer 6

1.Glycolysis (anaerobic)
2.pre Krebs +Krebs cycle (aerobic) AKA citric acid cycle
3.Electron transport chain (aerobic) AKA E.T.C.

Question 7

how many ATPS does cellular respiration make?

Answer 7

Glycolysis ⇒ 2 ATP (makes 4, net 2)
Krebs cycle ⇒ 2 ATP
ETC ⇒ 34 ATP
In total ⇒ 38 ATP

Question 8

what energy carriers are in cellular respiration?

Answer 8

ATP
NADH( similar to NADPH in photosynthesis)
FADH2

Question 9

how is cellular respiration related to photosynthesis?

Answer 9

The Products of one are the reactants of another.

Question 10

cellular respiration and photosynthesis make up what cycle?

Answer 10

The Carbon cycle.
