What is the purpose of cellular respiration?
Cellular respiration is the process through which cells convert sugars into energy
Reactants in pyruvate oxidation
Pyruvate, CoA, NAD+
Which region is letter C pointing to?
Matrix of mitochondria
Products of alcoholic fermentation
CO2, ethanol, NAD+
Example of organism that performs alcoholic fermentation
yeast, some bacteria
Which other process uses the products of respiration?
photosynthesis
Products of pyruvate oxidation
Acetyl-CoA, CO2, NADH
The reactants of glycolysis
Glucose (ADP, NAD+)
What are the outputs for cellular respiration?
Co2, water, and energy (ATP)
Define anaerobic respiration
Cellular respiration without the presence of oxygen; fermentation
Which structure is letter B pointing to?
Inner membrane/cristae
What is the last stage of cellular respiration?
Oxidative Phosphorylation (Electron transport chain + chemiosmosis)
Is glycocysis anaerobic or aerobic?
Anaerobic
What are the names of the two electron carriers in respiration?
NADH and FADH2
Reactants of electron transport chain
NADH, FADH2, O2
What is the purpose of ATP?
ATP is a molecule that carries energy within cells
What is ADP?
Adenosine diphosphate
Why is aerobic respiration preferred to anaerobic respiration?
Aerobic respiration releases more ATP per glucose molecule

Acetyl-CoA, oxygen (NAD+, FAD+, ADP)
Where does glycolysis occur?
In the cytoplasm
