Anaerobic Respiration and Fermentation Quiz

How do cells in your body use the oxygen that you inhale?

• To produce carbon dioxide

• To convert glucose into ATP

• To create water

• To release energy

Why do cells need to generate ATP?

• To produce oxygen

• To break down food

• To store excess glucose

• To power many cellular processes

Where do cells get the energy needed to power the processes of the cell?

• From carbon dioxide

• From sunlight

• From food and oxygen

• From water

What happens if energy isn't available for an organism?

• The organism produces more oxygen

• The organism grows larger

• The organism undergoes anaerobic respiration

• The organism becomes inactive

How is anaerobic respiration different from aerobic respiration?

• Anaerobic respiration uses oxygen

• Aerobic respiration produces carbon dioxide

• Anaerobic respiration uses electron acceptors rather than oxygen

• Anaerobic respiration requires glucose

What is fermentation?

• The process of converting glucose into ATP

• The production of carbon dioxide in cells

• The breakdown of water into oxygen and hydrogen

• The metabolic process in which glucose molecules are converted into acids, gases, or alcohols in the absence of oxygen

How are lactic acid and alcoholic fermentation similar?

• Both produce ethanol

• Both require oxygen as an electron acceptor

• Both produce carbon dioxide

• Both change pyruvate to continue producing ATP by glycolysis

What are some examples of products that are created through alcoholic fermentation?

• Cheese and yogurt

• Butter and cream

• Bread and wine

• Beer and cider

Why is anaerobic respiration considered an inefficient process?

• Because it is too slow

• Because it only produces 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule

• Because it requires a lot of oxygen

• Because it produces too much ATP
