[07] Cellular Respiration

Question 1

What is Cellular Respiration?

Answer 1

A process in cells to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP and then release waste products

Question 2

What are the main stages of Cellular Respiration?

Answer 2

• Glycolysis
• The Citric Acid Cycle (Krebs Cycle)
• Oxidative Phosphorylation

Question 3

Where does Cellular Respiration occur in cells?

Answer 3

It begins in the cytoplasm with Glycolysis and continues in Mitochondria for the Citric Acid Cycle and Oxidative Phosphorylation

Question 4

What is the role of Cellular Respiration?

Answer 4

To convert biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP

Question 5

What is Glycolysis?

Answer 5

The metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate, releasing energy and reducing power to form ATP and NADH

Question 6

What is the Citric Acid Cycle (Krebs Cycle)?

Answer 6

A series of chemical reactions that generates energy through the oxidization of acetate into carbon dioxide

Question 7

How is Cellular Respiration related to Oxidative Phosphorylation?

Answer 7

Oxidative Phosphorylation is the final stage of Cellular Respiration that generates ATP from nutrients

Question 8

What are the waste products of Cellular Respiration?

Answer 8

Carbon dioxide and water

Question 9

What is the main source of energy for Cellular Respiration?

Answer 9

Glucose

Question 10

How many ATP molecules are typically produced by one round of Cellular Respiration?

Answer 10

Up to 38 ATP molecules from one glucose molecule
