1.

What is consumed in aerobic respiration?

a)

Oxygen

b)

Nitrogen

c)

Carbon Dioxide

d)

Water

e)

Leaves

2.

The primary purpose of cellular respiration in living organisms is to…

a)

Remove excess carbon dioxide from the cells.

b)

Create water by combining Oxygen and Hydrogen ions.

c)

Produce biologically useful energy in the form of ATP

d)

Produce molecules that can be used in the electron transport system.

e)

Create larger complex molecules such as carbohydrates, proteins, and Lipids

3.

The products of glycolysis include two pyruvate molecules and…

a)

Two molecules of oxygen

b)

Two net molecules of ATP

c)

One molecule of glucose

d)

Four ATP and two molecules of NADH

e)

Two molecules of NADH and two ATP

4.

Fermentation is an anaerobic process that recycles NAD+ from the NADH that is produced in glycolysis. The conversion of NADH to NAD+ is critical, as it allows glycolysis to continue to change glucose to pyruvate.


If oxygen is not present in sufficient quality, pyruvate molecules are converted into…

a)

Amino Acids or Fatty Acids

b)

Carbon Dioxide and Water

c)

CO2 or O2

d)

Ethanol or Lactic Acid

e)

acetyl-CoA and citric acid

5.

Prior to entering the Krebs cycle, each pyruvate molecule loses electrons, hydrogen ions, and a carbon, forming an energy rich molecule of…

a)

NAD+

b)

NADH

c)

FADH2

d)

CO2

e)

acetyl-CoA

6.

What is the NADH and FADH2 formed in the Krebs Cycle primary function?

a)

Remove the waste product CO2 from the system.

b)

Transfer electrons to the electron transport chain

c)

Provide the energy to synthesize acetyl-CoA

d)

Catalyze the production of ATP from ADP

e)

Facilitate the production of water by combining hydrogen ions with O2

7.

After the Krebs Cycle only a small portion of the energy of glucose has been converted. At this point what is the majority of usable energy is contained in?

a)

NADH and FADH2

b)

Pyruvate

c)

Acetyl-CoA

d)

CO2

e)

Citric Acid

8.

How do fermentation reactions contribute to the continued production of ATP in the absence of oxygen?

a)

Splitting carbon dioxide and releasing additional oxygen.

b)

Moving acetyl-CoA molecules to the Krebs cycle.

c)

Recycling NADH molecules to NAD+ molecules.

d)

Producing enzymes that convert ADP to ATP

e)

Breaking down ethanol or lactic acid to carbon dioxide and water.

9.

Which of the following represents a plausible pathway of electrons through the process of cellular respiration?

a)

Glucose >>> NADH >>> Acetyl-CoA >>> ETC >>> Carbon Dioxide

b)

Glucose >>> NADH >>> ETC >>> Acetyl-CoA >>> Oxygen

c)

Glucose >>> Pyruvate >>> ETC >>> NADH >>> Acetyl-CoA

d)

Glucose >>> NADH >>> Acetyl-CoA >>> ETC >>> Carbon Dioxide

e)

Glucose >>> Carbon Dioxide >>> FADH2 >>> ETC >>> Acetyl-CoA

10.

Cellular respiration uses one molecule of glucose to produce?

a)

26-28 ATP

b)

NADH

c)

2-4 ATP

d)

CO2

e)

30-32 ATP

11.

Which of the following occurs in both fermentation and aerobic cellular respiration?

a)

glycolysis

b)

ATP is synthesized from ADP and Inorganic phosphate.

c)

Photosynthesis

d)

sleeping

e)

12.

What is the distinction between anaerobic respiration and fermentation?

a)

One is big

b)

One is small

c)

ETC is used in anaerobic respiration but not in fermentation

d)

ETC is used in aerobic respiration but not fermentation

e)

All of the above

13.
