| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Reactants of cellular respiration | Glucose and oxygen |
| Products of cellular respiration | Carbon dioxide and water |
| ATP | Adenosine Triphosphate |
| ADP | Adenosine Diphosphate |
| Phosphorylation | Addition of a phosphate group to a molecule |
| Glycolysis | Breakdown of glucose |
| Aerobic | In the presence of oxygen |
| Anaerobic | In the presence of no oxygen |
| Pyruvate | A 3-carbon molecule created at the end of glycolysis |
| Krebs cycle | Takes place in the mitochondrial matrix |
