The Basics
The main goal of cellular respiration is to create this for the cell to use.
What is Energy?
This organelle is known as the "powerhouse" because respiration happens here.
What is the mitochondrion?
While respiration releases carbon dioxide, photosynthesis releases this gas.
What is oxygen?
This type of respiration requires oxygen to work efficiently.
What is aerobic?
In the chemical equation for respiration, H2O stands for this liquid byproduct.
What is water?
These are the two primary "ingredients" (reactants) needed for respiration to begin.
What are glucose and oxygen?
True or False: Cellular respiration only happens when you are exercising.
What is false? (It happens 24/7)
Respiration happens in the mitochondria; photosynthesis happens in this organelle.
What is the chloroplast?
This type of respiration happens when oxygen is NOT present.
What is Anaerobic/Fermentation?
In the equation C6H12O6 + 6O2, this many oxygen molecules are used.
What is six?
Cellular respiration takes place in both plants and these types of organisms.
What are animals?
This is the specific "energy currency" molecule produced in the mitochondria.
What is ATP? Adenosine Triphosphate
These two products of photosynthesis are the two "ingredients" needed for respiration.
What are glucose and oxygen?
In humans, anaerobic respiration can cause a buildup of this acid, making muscles sore.
What is lactic acid?
The "outputs" of a chemical reaction are known by this scientific name.
What are products?
This gas is released into the air as a waste product of respiration.
What is carbon dioxide?
Unlike the first step in the cytoplasm, the steps inside the mitochondria require this gas.
What is oxygen?
Photosynthesis stores energy in food, while respiration does this to the energy.
What is releases it or breaks it down?
This "fungus among us" uses fermentation to make bread rise.
What is yeast?
The first step of breaking down glucose occurs here, before it reaches the mitochondria. Produces pyruvate.
What is the cytoplasm?
The second stage of cellular respiration that uses oxygen and produces a small amount of energy is called:
What is the Krebs Cycle?
In the first stage of cellular respiration glucose is broken down into smaller particles called this:
What is pyruvate?
This is the primary source of energy for photosynthesis, which is not needed for respiration.
What is sunlight?
In this third stage of cellular respiration a considerable amount of ATP is created using oxygen. This stage is called:
What is the electron transport chain?
This is the chemical formula for the sugar used in respiration.
What is C6H12O6?
