    It provides ATP for cellular functions
  • What are the reactants and products of aerobic respiration?
    Reactants:
    • Glucose
    • Oxygen
    Products:
    • Carbon dioxide
    • Water
    • ATP
  • Where does glycolysis occur in the cell?
    In the cytoplasm
  • What are the main products of the Citric Acid Cycle?
    • 2 ATP
    • 2 NADH
    • 1 FADH2
  • What does glycolysis break glucose into?
    Pyruvate
  • What do the stages of aerobic respiration create for cells?
    Energy currency (ATP)
  • What is the result of aerobic respiration in terms of energy?
    It releases a large amount of energy
  • What are the main products of aerobic respiration?
    Carbon dioxide, water, and ATP
  • What are the stages of aerobic respiration?
    Glycolysis, Link reaction, Krebs cycle, Electron transport chain
  • How does the Electron Transport Chain shown in the image differ from the Citric Acid Cycle?
    The Electron Transport Chain is the final stage of cellular respiration that generates a large amount of ATP, while the Citric Acid Cycle is an earlier stage that produces NADH and FADH2 to fuel the Electron Transport Chain
  • What are the two key molecules removed from the diagram linking photosynthesis and respiration in plants?
    1: oxygen, 2: carbon dioxide
  • What type of combustion occurs in aerobic respiration?
    Complete
  • What is the energy yield of aerobic respiration?
    High (36 - 38 ATP)
  • What are the reactants and products of photosynthesis?
    Reactants:
    • Carbon dioxide
    • Water
    Products:
    • Glucose
    • Oxygen
  • What is the product of anaerobic respiration in animals?
    Lactic acid
  • What are the reactants of aerobic respiration?
    Glucose and oxygen
  • Where does aerobic respiration occur?
    Cytoplasm and mitochondrion
  • What are the reactants for aerobic respiration?
    Glucose and oxygen
  • What is aerobic respiration?
    Respiration that occurs with oxygen
  • What are the reactants of aerobic respiration?
    Glucose and oxygen
  • What is the role of chloroplasts in photosynthesis?
    Chloroplasts are the site of photosynthesis and contain chlorophyll, the pigment that absorbs light energy.
  • What are the products of anaerobic respiration in animals?
    Lactic acid
  • What is produced as a result of electrons moving down the electron transport chain?
    ATP is produced
  • Why is oxygen important in the electron transport chain?
    It allows electrons to move down the chain
  • If a cell has a limited supply of oxygen, which type of respiration would it use to produce ATP?
    Anaerobic respiration
  • What is the formula to calculate the area of a circle with radius rr?

    A=A =πr2 \pi r^2
  • What are the stages of aerobic respiration?
    1. Glucose and oxygen are combined
    2. The process occurs in three stages
    3. Carbon dioxide, water, and ATP are released
  • Why is aerobic respiration more efficient than anaerobic respiration?
    It allows for efficient energy production
  • What is the energy yield of anaerobic respiration?
    Low (2 ATP)
  • How does the Citric Acid Cycle relate to the Electron Transport Chain shown in the image?
    • The Citric Acid Cycle produces NADH and FADH2, which are then used in the Electron Transport Chain to generate more ATP.
    • The Electron Transport Chain is the final stage of cellular respiration, where the energy from NADH and FADH2 is used to produce a large amount of ATP.
  • Where does the electron transport chain occur?
    In the inner mitochondrial membrane
  • What role does aerobic respiration play in brain function?
    It provides energy for studying and learning
  • What is the role of mitochondria in respiration?
    Mitochondria are the site of aerobic respiration, where the energy from glucose is converted into ATP.
  • What is the formula to calculate the area of a circle?
    A=A =πr2 \pi r^2
  • Where does anaerobic respiration occur?
    Cytoplasm
  • If the reactants of aerobic respiration are glucose and oxygen, what is the chemical equation for the overall process?
    C6H12O6+C_6H_{12}O_6 +6O26CO2+ 6O_2 \rightarrow 6CO_2 +6H2O+ 6H_2O +ATP \text{ATP}
  • What are the key differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
    • Aerobic respiration uses oxygen, anaerobic does not
    • Aerobic produces CO2 and H2O, anaerobic produces lactic acid or ethanol
    • Aerobic produces much more ATP than anaerobic
    • Aerobic is more efficient at producing energy
