7.

The correct word equation for aerobic respiration is

a)

carbon dioxide + water (+ energy) → glucose + oxygen

b)

water + oxygen → carbon dioxide + glucose (+ energy)

c)

glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water (+ energy)

d)

glucose + water → carbon dioxide + water (+ energy)

8.

a)

glucose → lactic acid + oxygen

b)

glucose → lactic acid (+ energy released)

c)

glucose + oxygen → lactic acid (+ energy released)

d)

lactic acid → energy released

9.

In order to make Bread and Beer

a)

cellular respiration takes place

b)

Oxygen and glucose are the reactants

c)

Lactic Acid Fermentation is the product

d)

Alcoholic Fermentation is the product

10.

Anaerobic means

a)

oxygen is not required

b)

oxygen is required

c)

up to 38 ATPs are made

d)

cellular respiration

11.

Which organism uses Aerobic Respiration?

a)

Bacteria

b)

yeast

c)

muscle cells

d)

Animals

12.
Why is yeast used to bake bread? 
a)
The waste gas, CO2, makes bread rise
b)
The alcohol produced makes bread dangerous
c)
The yeast consumes O2, causing bread to rise
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.

What are the uses of the energy produced in respiration? Tick all that apply.

a)

To build larger molecules from smaller molecules.

b)

To break down smaller molecules into larger molecules.

c)

To maintain our body temperature.

d)

To allow muscles to contract.

15.
After intense activity, your muscles feel sore because of 
a)
the accumulation of NAD+
b)
the accumulation of lactic acid 
c)
the accumulation of ATP
d)
the accumulation of carbon dioxide
