1. What are the 3 phases of the cellular respiration process?: glycolysis, the citric acid
cycle, and the electron transport chain
2. Where in the cell does the glycolysis part of cellular respiration occur?: the cytosol
3. What is the glycolysis part of cellular respiration's purpose?: A molecule of glucose is split
to release energy
4. Where in the cell does the Krebs (Citric Acid) cycle part of cellular respira- tion occur?:
the mitochondrial matrix
5. What is the Krebs' cycle purpose?: generates a pool of chemical energy, generating 1
ATP, 3 NADH and 1 FADH2
6. Where in the cell does the electron transport part of cellular respiration occur?:
across the inner membrane of the mitochondria
7. What is the electron transport's purpose in the cellular respiration?: pro- duces 32
ATP
8. How many ATP are made in the glycolysis part of cellular respiration?: 4
9. How many ATP are made in the Kreb's cycle part of cellular respiration?: 1
10. How many ATP are made in the electron transport part of cellular respira- tion?: none
11. In which phase of cellular respiration is carbon dioxide made?: Kreb's cycle (citric acid
cycle)
12. What are NAD+ and FAD?: function as electron carriers
13. What do NAD+ and FAD do and what do they become?: Carry and donate the
electrons to the Electron Transport chain, they become NAD+ and FAD again and return
to the Kreb's cycle.
14. In which phase of cellular respiration is water made?: Electron Transport Chain
15. What would happen to the cellular respiration process if the enzyme (aka catalyst) for
one step of the process was missing or defective?: The process would stop and no more
products would be made
16. During cellular respiration, which stage does not produce ATP via sub- strate-level
phosphorylation?: chemiosmosis
17. With regards to glycolysis, what is the most important molecule that is generated?:
pyruvate
18. Briefly describe how ATP synthase generates ATP.: ATP synthesis is a protein
complex that is essentially a proton-driven rotary motor that produces ATP from ADP and
Pi. ATP serves energy currency of the cell and can be though of as an available source of
chemical energy.
19. What is the final electron acceptor in cellular respiration?: oxygen
