Which of the following statements is false?
- A.
Cell respiration produces carbon dioxide
- B.
Cell respiration is a single chemical reaction with just one step.
- C.
Cell respiration releases heat.
- D.
Cell respiration consumes glucose.
Correct Answer
B. Cell respiration is a single chemical reaction with just one step.Explanation
Cell respiration is a MANY step process. (In addition to the main steps: Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle and Electron Transport Chain), their are many sub-steps. (Clue: It is called the Krebs CYCLE - - it is a many stepped process).Rate this question:

A drug is tested in a lab and is found to create holes in both mitochondrial membranes. Scientists suspect that the drug will be harmful to human cells because it will inhibit:
- A.
Glycolysis
- B.
The citric acid cycle.
- C.
The formation of alcohol.
- D.
Calvin cycle.
Correct Answer
B. The citric acid cycle.Explanation
It will not inhibit glycolysis, since that takes place in the cytoplasm (not mitochondria).
The citric acid cycle is another name for Krebs cycle. Krebs and Electron Transport chain take place in the mitochondria.
Alcohol would be formed during fermentation (to empty the carrier NADH of its hydrogen and electrons - producing NAD+. This occurs in anaerobic respiration after glycolysis (so, in the cytoplasm).
Calvin cycle is in photosynthesis (in chloroplasts).Rate this question:

- 7.
Which one of the following metabolic pathways is common in aerobic and anaerobic organisms?
- A.
Electron Transport Chain
- B.
Citric Acid Cycle
- C.
Krebs Cycle
- D.
Glycolysis
Correct Answer
D. GlycolysisExplanation
Krebs is the same as Citric acid cycle and is performed in the mitochondria. It is part of Aerobic respiration.
Electron Transport chain is performed in the mitochondria. It is part of Aerobic respiration.Rate this question:
-
- 8.
In the electron transport chain, the final electron acceptor is:
- A.
A molecule of water.
- B.
A molecule of carbon dioxide.
- C.
ADP
- D.
An oxygen atom.
Correct Answer
D. An oxygen atom.Explanation
Oxygen is the final electron acceptor (and FORMS water!)Rate this question:
-
- 9.
Which of the following processes produces the most ATP per molecule of glucose oxidized (bonds broken)?
- A.
Anaerobic respiration
- B.
Alcoholic fermentation
- C.
Lactic acid fermentation
- D.
Aerobic respiration
Correct Answer
D. Aerobic respirationExplanation
Aerobic: Glycolysis (2 ATP) + Krebs (aka Citric acid) (2ATP) + Electron Transport Chain (32ATP)
Anaerobic (Lactic or alcoholic fermentation): Glycolysis (2ATP) + Fermentation (0 ATP-- performed to empty NADH carrier of hydrogen onto either Lactic acid or alcohol)Rate this question:

Muscle soreness associated with strenuous exercise is at least partly due to:
- A.
The presence of lactic acid produced during fermentation in muscle cells.
- B.
The large amount of carbon dioxide that builds up in the muscle.
- C.
The accumulation of alcohol from anaerobic respiration
- D.
An excess of ATP that builds up during vigorous exercise.
Correct Answer
A. The presence of lactic acid produced during fermentation in muscle cells. -

The ultimate source of all the food we eat and the oxygen we breathe is:
- A.
Photosynthesis
- B.
Anaerobic metabolism
- C.
Glycolysis
- D.
Cell respiration,
Correct Answer
A. Photosynthesis -
- 12.
The process of aerobic cellular respiration occurs in:
- A.
Animals, only
- B.
Plants, only
- C.
Both plants and animals
- D.
Neither plants nor animals
Correct Answer
C. Both plants and animals -
- 13.
Which statement best describes the role of photosynthesis and cell respiration in the carbon cycle?
- A.
Cell respiration and photosynthesis both add carbon into the atmosphere.
- B.
Cell respiration and photosynthesis both remove carbon from the atmosphere.
- C.
Cell respiration adds carbon into the atmosphere and photosynthesis removes carbon from the atmosphere.
- D.
Photosynthesis adds carbon into the atmosphere and cell respiration removes carbon from the atmosphere.
Correct Answer
C. Cell respiration adds carbon into the atmosphere and photosynthesis removes carbon from the atmosphere.Explanation
Carbon cycle: CO2 is added to the atmosphere from cell respiration (it is the product) and is removed from the atmosphere and use (as a reactance) for photosynthesisRate this question:

- A.
ATP
- B.
Glucose
- C.
Oxygen
- D.
DNA
Correct Answer
A. ATP -
