Energy is produced during cellular respiration and stored in the form of ______.

• APT

• ATP

• TPA

• PTA

Answer explanation

Which of the following represents the process of cellular respiration?

• Glucose + water + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + energy

• Carbon dioxide + water + energy --> glucose + oxygen

• Glucose + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water + energy

• Glucose + water + carbon dioxide --> oxygen + energy

Answer explanation

Remember that cellular respiration has 2 inputs (glucose and oxygen) and 3 outputs (carbon dioxide, water and energy).

Why is cellular respiration important to animals?

• It produces glucose.

• It forms carbon dioxide.

• It uses oxygen.

• It stores energy in ATP.

Answer explanation

Although it's true that cellular respiration forms carbon dioxide and uses oxygen, the main reason why it is important to animals is that it stores energy in ATP.

Which of the following correctly explains why both plants and animals need to undergo cellular respiration?

• Both plants and animal cells need chemical energy to carry out cellular processes.

• Plant cells do not need chemical energy for cellular processes and animal cells do.

• Plants need to store more chemical energy and animals need chemical energy for cellular processes.

• Plant cells already have chemical energy stored in them and animal cells need chemical energy for cellular processes

Answer explanation

All living organisms (including plants and animals) need chemical energy to carry out cellular processes.

Where does cellular respiration take place?

• Mitochondria

• Cell Membrane

• Nucleus

• Ribosomes

Answer explanation

The mitochondria is nicknamed as the powerhouse of the cell because it is where energy is produced through the process of cellular respiration.
