10.
What is cellular respiration?
a)
the breakdown of glucose  to release ATP
b)
the breakdown of glucose to release NADH
c)
the breakdown of glucose to release FADH

the breakdown of glucose to release carbon
11.
The inner membrane of this organelle is highly folded.  What is the advantage of this folding?
a)
It increases the amount of light absorbed by the organelle.
b)
It increases the structural support of the organelle.
c)
It increases the surface area, allowing greater ATP production.
d)
It increases the surface area and the rate of glucose production.
12.

How can energy from the sun be transferred to animals?

a)

The sun's energy is transformed into food by plants, animals eat plants as food so that they can transform that food into energy.

b)

Plants produced energy through photosynthesis, animals that eat that energy can produce food.

c)

Plants transformed energy of the sun into gases that animals can breath in to use as energy through respiration.

d)

Animals are able to use energy from the sun by eating the plants that provides energy for the animals.

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. 
14.

b)

hydrogen transport turbine

c)
