ATP is composed of adenosine and three
phosphates
What is the process that breaks down ATP to release energy?
Hydrolysis
Stages of cellular respiration
1️⃣ Glycolysis
2️⃣ Citric Acid Cycle
3️⃣ Electron Transport Chain
The citric acid cycle releases electrons that are passed through the electron transport chain
True
What is required for aerobic respiration but not for anaerobic respiration?
Oxygen
What are the products of anaerobic respiration in animals?
Lactic acid
What is released when ATP is hydrolyzed?
Energy
What does ATP stand for?
Adenosine Triphosphate
Phosphorylation adds a phosphate group to
ADP
Cellular respiration synthesizes ATP in three primary stages: glycolysis, citric acid cycle, and electron transport
chain
Glycolysis occurs in the
cytosol
of the cell.
True
Which stage of cellular respiration generates the most ATP?
Electron Transport Chain
How many ATP molecules are produced in the citric acid cycle?
2 ATP
What is the key difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
Oxygen requirement
Aerobic respiration produces approximately 36-38 ATP molecules per
glucose
Fermentation occurs in the absence of
oxygen
.
True
Photosynthesis occurs in the
chloroplasts
of plant cells.
Photosynthesis is the reverse of
cellular respiration
.
True
Photosynthesis has two main
stages
The Calvin Cycle converts carbon dioxide into glucose using ATP and
NADPH
True
Photosynthesis is the reverse of cellular
respiration
ATP
is the primary energy currency of the cell
True
Energy cycling in cells is a key aspect of cellular
energetics
How many phosphate groups are in ATP?
Three
What are the three stages of cellular respiration?
Glycolysis, Krebs cycle, ETC
How many ATP molecules are produced per glucose molecule in cellular respiration?
36-38 ATP
Anaerobic respiration produces more ATP than aerobic respiration
False
Steps in the electron transport chain
1️⃣ NADH and FADH₂ release electrons
2️⃣ A proton gradient is generated
3️⃣ ATP synthase produces ATP
Lactic acid fermentation
contributes to muscle fatigue during exercise
True
Match the fermentation type with its significance:
Alcoholic Fermentation ↔️ Beer and bread production
Lactic Acid Fermentation ↔️ Muscle energy during exercise
The light-dependent stage of photosynthesis generates ATP and
NADPH
True
Photosynthesis occurs in the
chloroplasts
Stages of photosynthesis in the correct order
1️⃣ Light-Dependent
2️⃣ Light-Independent (Calvin Cycle)
What is the overall reaction of photosynthesis?
6CO_{2} + 6H_{2}O \rightarrow C_{6}H_{12}O_{6} + 6O_{2}</latex>
Photosynthesis is the reverse of
cellular respiration
.
True
Cellular respiration begins with the process of
glycolysis
Stages of cellular respiration in the correct order
1️⃣ Glycolysis
2️⃣ Citric Acid Cycle
3️⃣ Electron Transport Chain
Anaerobic respiration does not require
oxygen
How many ATP molecules can one glucose molecule produce through cellular respiration?
36-38 ATP
Aerobic respiration requires
oxygen
