10 Questions
What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?
The main purpose of cellular respiration is to break down food in order to make the energy molecule ATP.
What is the name of the molecule that cells use as energy?
Cells use the molecule ATP as energy.
What are the waste products of aerobic respiration?
The waste products of aerobic respiration are carbon dioxide and water.
What is glycolysis and where does it occur?
Glycolysis is the process of breaking glucose into pyruvate molecules. It occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.
How many molecules of ATP are invested in the energy investment phase of glycolysis?
Two molecules of ATP are invested in the energy investment phase of glycolysis.
What is the net gain of ATP molecules from glycolysis?
The net gain of ATP molecules from glycolysis is two molecules.
What are the net products of glycolysis?
The net products of glycolysis are two pyruvates, two NADH, and two ATP.
What are the four key processes that comprise aerobic respiration?
The four key processes that comprise aerobic respiration are glycolysis, the link reaction, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain.
What happens during the oxidation phase of glycolysis?
During the oxidation phase of glycolysis, remnants of glucose get oxidized, meaning that electrons and hydrogens are stripped off of them and transferred to special electron carrier molecules to make NADH.
What is the purpose of the electron transport chain?
The purpose of the electron transport chain is to carry electrons from NADH to generate ATP.
