Cellular Respiration Review Worksheet

1. What are the 4 stages of the aerobic cellular respiration? Where do each of these processes take place in the
cell?

2. For each of the four stages of aerobic cellular respiration, highlight the number of ATP, NADH and FADH2
molecules produced.

3. In which phase(s) of cellular respiration is carbon dioxide made?

4. In which phase(s) of cellular respiration is water made?

5. In which phase(s) of aerobic cellular respiration is the oxygen taken in from the environment an important
factor? Explain how oxygen is used.

6. In which phase(s) of cellular respiration is glucose an important factor? Explain.

7. Explain what would happen to aerobic cellular respiration if an enzyme used in pyruvate oxidation were
missing or defective. How would this differ for anaerobic respiration?

8. Explain what happens to the high-energy electrons (and hydrogen) held by NADH if there is no O2 present.
9. What is the overall reaction for fermentation in yeast?

10. What is the overall reaction for lactic acid fermentation?

11. Only a small part of the energy released from the glucose molecule during glycolysis is stored in ATP. How is
the rest of the energy released?

12. Complete the table.
