5.
Ava conducted an experiment to determine respiratory rates during different activities. She counted the number of breaths per minute. Ava noted that the number of breaths increases as physical activity increases. Why is there an increase in the number of breaths per minute as activity increases?

The Law of Conservation of Energy states that Energy can't be created or destroyed, it just changes form. In photosynthesis light energy becomes?
a)
Light Energy
b)
Chemical energy
c)
Kinetic Energy
d)
Electrical Energy
8.

10.
Most of the concentration of which gas results from the activity of producer organisms
a)
nitrogen
b)
oxygen
c)
water vapor
d)
cardon dioxide
11.
This process does not make ATP alone, but it allows glycolysis to continue making ATP when oxygen is unavailable for cellular respiration.
a)
Fermentation
b)
Electron Transport Chain
c)
Glycolysis
d)
Kreb's cycle
12.
Two different species of bacteria are examined. Scientists find that species X always produces COand H2O during cellular respiration. Species Y always produces ethyl alcohol and CO2. Which conclusion can be made from these observations? 
a)
 Only species Y is aerobic.
b)
Only species Y is anaerobic.
c)
Both species X and Y are aerobic.
d)
Both species X and Y are anaerobic. 
13.
A weightlifter is using heavy weights in short bursts for a competition. Because his muscle cells are not able to take in enough oxygen to make very much ATP the weightlifter begins to get fatigue in his muscles. Which of the following processes is most likely going on in the muscles of the weightlifter as he competes in his event?
a)
As the cells run out of oxygen they switch to anaerobic respiration, which allows the cell to make small amounts of ATP in the absence of oxygen.
b)
As the cells run out of oxygen, they die off gradually and the weightlifter's muscles have fewer contracting muscle cells.
c)
The cells will never run out of oxygen if the weightlifter is breathing.
d)
As the cells run out of oxygen, they will continue to make the same amount of ATP, since oxygen is not required to make ATP.
