Cellular Respiration and Metabolism

385 resources created by 339 users

This Cellular Respiration and Metabolism page on GoConqr gathers community-made mind maps, quizzes, flashcards and notes, from glycolysis, the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain to aerobic and anaerobic respiration and fermentation. It's built for school students revising a topic, and for teachers after ready-made material, with a little for university students too. There are over 2,400 resources here, including more than 240 quizzes and over 1,100 mind maps, mostly at secondary level. Pick a quiz to find your gaps, then explore the maps.

About Cellular Respiration and Metabolism

GoConqr Original

What this unit covers

The resources follow respiration from the basic equation to the detailed pathways. Early material asks simple questions, such as what anaerobic respiration produces in yeast and what the word equation for aerobic respiration in plants is. Later material moves into glycolysis, the link reaction, the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain. Metabolism and enzymes sit alongside, with bioenergetics and photosynthesis for comparison.

Where to start

  1. Open the flashcards for IGCSE Biology Edexcel - Section 4 Respiration. They cover the key points, the aerobic equation and anaerobic respiration, including in plants.
  2. Try the Year 10 flashcards on respiration and the respiratory system in humans, which ask where aerobic respiration takes place and which part of the cell carries it out.
  3. Move to the Glycolysis mind map, which splits the process into steps, including phosphorylation and the lysis of the glucose molecule, with a worked example.
  4. Follow with the Krebs cycle and Electron transport chain mind maps, then the Krebs Cycle Quiz.

Using maps and quizzes together

Read a mind map first, then take a quiz without looking. Wrong answers show you which branch to go back to. The Krebs Cycle Quiz asks about the sequence of cellular respiration and where the carbon atoms in pyruvic acid end up, so it pairs well with the Krebs cycle map. For wider revision, the 0654 Biology Topic B8 quiz covers gas exchange and respiration together.

For a more advanced view, the 8.2 Cell Respiration mind map covers redox reactions and the chemiosmotic theory. The B4 - Bioenergetics map links respiration to photosynthesis.

Where it fits

This unit sits in the Molecules and Cells strand of Biology and natural sciences. The resources reference exams such as GCSE Biology, IGCSE Biology, A-level Biology, AP Biology, IB Biology and SQA Higher Biology, so check the title of each one against your own course.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the IGCSE Biology Edexcel - Section 4 Respiration flashcards or the Year 10 respiration flashcards if you are new to the topic. They cover the equations and where respiration happens. Once those feel comfortable, move on to the Glycolysis mind map and then the Krebs cycle.

What do the mind maps cover?

They run from general respiration and bioenergetics to the individual stages. There are maps on glycolysis, the link reaction, the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain, plus 8.2 Cell Respiration, which includes redox reactions and the chemiosmotic theory. Others compare aerobic and anaerobic respiration.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so it is worth checking each one against your own course.

Which exams do these resources suit?

The listed resources mention GCSE Biology, IGCSE Biology, A-level Biology, AQA A-level Biology, AP Biology, IB Biology, SQA Higher Biology and Biology 20. Most of the material is at secondary level. Look at the title and excerpt to see whether it matches your course.

Can I save my quiz scores or make my own resources?

A free account saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes. That is useful if you spot a gap in the topic, such as fermentation or enzymes, and want to build something to fill it.

Is there anything for teachers?

Yes. Teachers can use the ready-made quizzes, flashcard decks, mind maps and notes as starting points for revision lessons or homework. Examples include the Krebs Cycle Quiz and the Electron Transport Chain Quiz, which suit a quick check after a lesson.
