Cellular Respiration
Unit 4
Question | Answer |
---|---|
What is cellular respiration? | Process of breaking down glucose to get energy (ATP) out |
What are the two types of cellular respiration? | Aerobic and Anaerobic |
What is aerobic respiration? | Requires oxygen, more efficient, produces 36 ATP, done by BOTH plants and animals |
What is anaerobic respiration? | Doesn't require oxygen, is less efficient, produces 2 ATP, done by BOTH animals and bacteria |
What are the two types of anaerobic respiration? | Alcoholic Fermentation and Lactic Acid Fermentation |
What is fermentation? | Anaerobic Respiration |
Where does aerobic respiration occur in the cell? | In the mitochondria |
What are the reactants (what goes in) to cellular respiration? | Oxygen (O2) and Glucose (C6H12O6) |
What are the products (what comes out) of cellular respiration? | Carbon dioxide (CO2) and Water (H2O) |
Why is the inner membrane (cristae) of the mitochondria folded? | To increase surface area to make more ATP |
