What is wrong with the following word equation:
glucose + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water
the reactants are wrong
no mention of energy
the equals sign
the products are wrong
Which form of respiration releases more energy?
Aerobic
Anaerobic
What is the product of anaerobic respiration in humans?
deoxyribose nucleic acid
carbon dioxide + water
lactic acid
hydrochloric acid
Which of the following word equations shows anaerobic respiration in humans
glucose → lactic acid
glucose = lactic acid
glucose ← ethanol + carbon dioxide
glucose → ethanol + carbon dioxide
Which of the following is true about anaerobic respiration?
Oxygen is a product
Occurs in the mitochondria of living cells
It gives out more energy than aerobic respiration
It is used by yeast to make products like bread and beer
What organ system in the body is responsible for transporting oxygen around the body?
respiratory system
skeletal system
lung system
circulatory system
What structure in the respiratory system is where oxygen diffuses into the bloodstream
alveoli
lungs
trachea
mouth
What structure in the respiratory system contracts when we breathe in. Moving down and outwards.
alveoli
Ribcage
Nose
Diaphragm
Which of the following is true about breathing?
Oxygen diffuses into the blood through the trachea
More carbon dioxide is inhaled than exhaled
More oxygen is inhaled than exhaled
The tiny blood vessels where oxygen enters the bloodstream are called arteries
Who is more likely to be using anaerobic respiration?
Whilst doing exercise, the build up of lactic acid in the muscles can lead to what?
Cramp
oxygen deficiency
muscle fatigue
dizziness
Why is it harder to breathe at a higher altitude (e.g. on mount Everest)
There is more carbon dioxide in the air
There is less oxygen in the air
the temperature is lower
the air is more dense
What specialized cells in our body are responsible for transporting oxygen around the body?
white blood cells
red blood cells
plasma
root hair cells
The microorganism yeast respires anaerobically. What are the products?
carbon dioxide + water
Ethanol + carbon dioxide
ethanol
water + ethanol
What type of energy is stored within a glucose molecule?
Chemical
Kinetic
Thermal
Potential

Pasteurization
Fertilization
Fermentation
Gestation
In baking the bread rises due to the yeast respiring anaerobically. What product of anaerobic respiration in yeast causes this?
oxygen
air
carbon dioxide
ethanol
What organ in a fish allows oxygen to get to cells for respiration?
gills
mouth
pelvic fin
pectoral fin
