Cellular Respiration and Fermentation

Open Ended

Explain the difference between aerobic and anaerobic processes in cellular respiration.

Fill in the Blanks

Cellular respiration occurs in the

of the cell.

Multiple Choice

What is the main purpose of the Krebs Cycle in cellular respiration?

• To break down glucose into pyruvic acid

• To produce large amounts of ATP and electron carriers

• To convert pyruvic acid into glucose

• To generate oxygen for the cell

Multiple Choice

What is the main function of the electron transport chain in cellular respiration?

• To break down glucose

• To produce water

• To generate a large amount of ATP

• To release carbon dioxide

Multiple Choice

Why is cellular respiration important for living organisms?

• It helps organisms move faster

• It allows organisms to convert food into usable energy

• It helps organisms grow taller

• It allows organisms to reproduce

Fill in the blank: The enzyme responsible for generating ATP during electron transport is called

synthase.

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is the correct chemical equation for cellular respiration?

• C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP

• 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2 + ATP

• C6H12O6 + 6CO2 → 6O2 + 6H2O + ATP

• 6O2 + ATP → C6H12O6 + 6CO2 + 6H2O

Fermentation is an

process that allows glycolysis to continue.

Multiple Choice

Multiple Select

Which of the following statements about glycolysis are correct?

• It occurs in the cytoplasm.

• It requires oxygen to occur.

• It breaks down glucose into two 3-carbon molecules.

• It produces 2 ATP molecules.

Multiple Choice

Which process releases chemical energy from sugars to make ATP when oxygen is present?

• Photosynthesis

• Cellular respiration

• Fermentation

• Glycolysis

Multiple Choice

Why do wine making tanks need pressure-release valves?

• The yeasts produce oxygen gas by cellular respiration.

• The yeasts produce carbon dioxide by lactic acid fermentation.

• The yeasts produce carbon dioxide by alcohol fermentation.

• The yeasts produce carbon dioxide by cellular respiration.
