Cell Parts
This structure is the control center of the cell and holds its DNA.
What is the nucleus?
Cellular respiration takes place in these two parts of the cell.
What are the mitochondria and the cytoplasm?
This is the main purpose of cellular respiration.
What is making ATP (by breaking down glucose)?
ATP stands for this.
What is adenosine triphosphate?
These two things are the products of photosynthesis.
What are glucose and oxygen?
Known as the “powerhouse of the cell,” this is where most of cellular respiration happens.
What is the mitochondria?
Glycolysis, the first stage of cellular respiration, takes place here.
What is the cytoplasm?
Glycolysis breaks one glucose molecule down into two molecules of this.
What is pyruvate?
The high-energy bonds in ATP are found here.
What is between the phosphate groups?
These two things are the reactants of photosynthesis.
What are carbon dioxide and water?
This thin outer boundary controls what enters and leaves the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
The Krebs cycle takes place in this part of the mitochondria.
What is the mitochondrial matrix?
These are the three stages of cellular respiration, in order.
What are glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain?
This stage of cellular respiration produces the most ATP.
What is the electron transport chain?
Making this energy molecule is the purpose of the light-dependent reactions.
What is ATP?
The folds of this part of the mitochondria give it extra surface area for the electron transport chain.
What is the inner membrane?
The electron transport chain takes place in this part of the mitochondria.
What is the inner membrane of the mitochondria?
This is the equation for cellular respiration.
What is C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O + energy (ATP)?
Cellular respiration makes about this many ATP molecules from one glucose.
What is 30–32?
Stomata have these two main jobs involving gases.
Releasing O₂ and taking in CO₂
This fluid-filled space inside the inner membrane of the mitochondria is where the Krebs cycle happens.
What is the matrix?
Photosynthesis takes place in this organelle, found in plant cells but not animal cells.
What is the chloroplast?
Besides ATP, cellular respiration produces these two things.
What are carbon dioxide and water?
When ATP releases energy, it loses a phosphate and becomes this molecule.
What is ADP?
Photosynthesis depends on these tiny openings in a leaf to get the CO₂ it needs.
What are stomata?
