Cellular Respiration Quiz

A producer is

• an organism that can make its own energy storage molecules (such as glucose)

• an organism that needs to eat in order to get energy storage molecules

• an organism that gets energy storage molecules (such as glucose) by breaking down dead matter

• someone who grows livestock for a living

A consumer is

• an organism that can make its own energy storage molecules (such as glucose)

• an organism that needs to eat in order to get energy storage molecules

• an organism that gets energy storage molecules (such as glucose) by breaking down dead matter

• an organism that kills and eats animals for energy

A decomposer is

• an organism that can make its own energy storage molecules (such as glucose)

• an organism that needs to eat in order to get energy storage molecules

• an organism that gets energy storage molecules (such as glucose) by breaking down dead matter

• an animal that eats road kill

Cellular respiration happens in which organisms?

• Producers

• Consumers

• Decomposers

• All of these organisms

Cellular respiration is....

• the chemical reaction between oxygen and an Energy Storage Molecule releases energy into cells

• the chemical reaction by plants and other producers use energy from sunlight to change carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose (an energy storage molecule)

• when water and carbon dioxide are converted into energy

• the production of energy by a cell without using oxygen

What is another name for energy storage molecules produced during photosynthesis?

• protein

• Chloroplast

• Mitochondria

• Glucose

Cellular respiration happens inside an organism's cells, by the organelle mitochondria. ___________________is broken down, releasing energy for the cell, and producing water and ________________

• Energy storage molecule (glucose); carbon dioxide

• Energy from the sun; oxygen

• Photosynthesis; cellular respiration

• Water; carbon dioxide

Energy Storage Molecule (ESM) is

• the ability to make things move or change

• matter that makes up the nonliving parts of an ecosystem, such as air, water, and rocks

• a molecule that organisms can use to release the energy they need to survive

• a molecule made of carbon and oxygen atoms

These mountain goats are eating grass on a sunny day. What is happening to the carbon in the air around the living things on the mountain? Is carbon moving into the air, moving out of the air, or both?

• Carbon is only moving into the air; it is not moving out of the air.

• Carbon is moving into the air and out of the air at the same time.

• Carbon is not moving into the air; it is only moving out of the air.

• With this information, there is no way to know for sure.

Scientists are studying cellular respiration in a river ecosystem that has plants, animals, and decomposers (which consume dead things). Which group or groups of organisms in the river carry out cellular respiration?

• plants and decomposers

• animals and decomposers

• all organisms in the river

• plants only
