Mitochondria
This structure increases surface area for ATP production.
What are cristae?
This process occurs in the cytoplasm and produces pyruvate and NADH.
What is glycolysis?
This is the only process that occurs in anaerobic respiration.
What is glycolysis?
This molecule is the main energy currency produced in cellular respiration.
What is ATP?
This molecule is the main energy currency of the cell.
What is ATP?
This is the main function of mitochondria.
What is converting energy for the cell using oxygen?
This is the net ATP gain from glycolysis.
What is 2 ATP?
This is the total ATP produced in anaerobic respiration.
What is 2 ATP?
This waste product is released during the Krebs cycle.
What is carbon dioxide (CO₂)?
This stage produces CO₂ as a waste product.
What is the Krebs cycle?
This membrane houses the electron transport chain and ATP synthase.
What is the inner mitochondrial membrane?
This molecule is produced from pyruvate before entering the Krebs cycle.
What is acetyl-CoA?
This type of fermentation produces lactate and is linked to muscle pain.
What is lactic acid fermentation?
This molecule is the final electron acceptor in aerobic respiration.
What is oxygen (O₂)?
This process uses oxygen and produces the most ATP.
What is aerobic respiration?
This structural feature of mitochondria is emphasized as important for ATP production.
What is the double membrane?
These are the three main stages of aerobic respiration.
What are pyruvate oxidation, Krebs cycle, and electron transport chain?
This type of fermentation produces ethanol and CO₂ in yeast.
What is alcoholic fermentation?
This molecule carries electrons from glycolysis and the Krebs cycle to the ETC.
What is NADH?
This structure uses a proton gradient to produce ATP.
What is ATP synthase?
This part of the mitochondria is where the Krebs cycle occurs.
What is the mitochondrial matrix?
This stage produces about 28 ATP using oxygen as the final electron acceptor.
What is oxidative phosphorylation (electron transport chain)?
Without this molecule, glycolysis stops during anaerobic respiration.
What is NAD⁺?
This molecule builds up when muscles lack oxygen during intense exercise.
What is lactic acid?
This molecule combines with acetyl-CoA to form citrate in the Krebs cycle.
What is oxaloacetate?
