Anaerobic Respiration Quiz

What is the word equation for anaerobic respiration in animals?

What is the word equation for anaerobic respiration in yeast?

Under which conditions does anaerobic respiration occur?

• When oxygen is abundant in cells

• When oxygen is unavailable or in low supply

• When the cell is at rest

• When cells are using glucose efficiently

Why does anaerobic respiration produce less energy than aerobic respiration?

• It uses more oxygen to break down glucose.

• It produces more carbon dioxide as waste.

• It does not fully break down glucose into carbon dioxide and water.

• It occurs in the mitochondria.

What is lactic acid, and how does it affect muscles?

• Lactic acid is a waste product that makes muscles stronger.

• Lactic acid builds up during aerobic respiration and helps muscles contract.

• Lactic acid is a waste product that can cause muscle fatigue and cramping.

• Lactic acid is a byproduct that enhances muscle flexibility.

How does fermentation in yeast differ from anaerobic respiration in animals?

• Fermentation produces lactic acid, while anaerobic respiration in animals produces ethanol.

• Fermentation produces ethanol and carbon dioxide, while anaerobic respiration in animals produces lactic acid.

• Fermentation occurs only in animals, while anaerobic respiration occurs in yeast.

• Both processes produce oxygen as a byproduct.

What is one advantage of anaerobic respiration?

• It produces a large amount of energy quickly.

• It does not require glucose.

• It is faster than aerobic respiration and can provide energy in the absence of oxygen.

• It produces more oxygen for cells.

What is one disadvantage of anaerobic respiration?

• It produces large amounts of oxygen.

• It produces more carbon dioxide than aerobic respiration.

• It produces less energy than aerobic respiration.

• It requires more glucose to function.

How does the body remove lactic acid after exercise?

• By converting it into glucose in the muscles

• By converting it into carbon dioxide and water

• By transporting it to the liver where it is converted back into glucose

• By exhaling it in the breath

Which of the following compares the energy yield of aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

• Anaerobic respiration produces more energy than aerobic respiration.

• Both anaerobic and aerobic respiration produce the same amount of energy.

• Aerobic respiration produces more energy than anaerobic respiration.

• Anaerobic respiration does not produce any energy.
