Questions and Answers Already Passed
What is the overall chemical equation for cellular respiration?
✔✔ The overall chemical equation for cellular respiration is: C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O +
ATP.
How many ATP molecules are typically produced from one glucose molecule during cellular
respiration?
✔✔ Typically, about 36 to 38 ATP molecules are produced from one glucose molecule during
cellular respiration.
What is the role of NADH and FADH₂ in cellular respiration?
✔✔ NADH and FADH₂ are electron carriers that transport electrons to the electron transport
chain.
What is the significance of the proton gradient created in the electron transport chain?
✔✔ The proton gradient created in the electron transport chain drives the synthesis of ATP
through chemiosmosis.

, What happens during oxidative phosphorylation?
✔✔ During oxidative phosphorylation, electrons are transferred through the electron transport
chain, and ATP is generated by ATP synthase using the energy from the proton gradient.
What is the role of the mitochondria in cellular respiration?
✔✔ The mitochondria are the site of most stages of cellular respiration, including the Krebs
cycle and electron transport chain.
How is energy from glucose initially captured during glycolysis?
✔✔ Energy from glucose is initially captured in glycolysis by forming ATP and NADH.
What is the main difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
✔✔ The main difference is that aerobic respiration requires oxygen and produces more ATP,
while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen and produces less ATP along with different
byproducts.
What are the end products of the Krebs cycle for each molecule of glucose?
✔✔ The end products of the Krebs cycle for each molecule of glucose are 2 ATP, 6 NADH, 2
FADH₂, and 4 CO₂.
