Aerobic Respiration Trivia Quiz
This quiz contains questions relating to cellular respiration. It specifically focuses on aerobic respiration and the biological mechanisms that go into producing energy that living things use to function. The content for this quiz can be found in the Princeton Review book from pages 57 - 62.
- 1.In order to produce a molecule of Adenosine Triphosphate, oxygen must be present.
- A.
True
- B.
False
- 2.All of the following are products of cellular respiration except:
- A.
Carbon dioxide
- B.
Water
- C.
Adenosine triphosphate
- D.
Glucose
- 3.
- 4.How many carbon atoms make up 1 molecule of glucose?
- A.
3
- B.
4
- C.
5
- D.
6
- 5.The book uses the expression "you have to spend money to earn money" in regards to ATP production during glycolysis. Describe how glycolysis "spends" in order to "make".
- 6.Which of the following regarding glycolysis are true:
- A.
It occurs in the matrix of the mitochondria
- B.
It occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell
- C.
It does not happen inside of the mitochondria
- D.
4 net ATP's are produced
- E.
4 ATP's are produced
- F.
Glucose is broken down into two 3 carbon sugars
- G.
Glucose is broken down into three 2 carbon sugars
- H.
2 NADH molecules are produced
- 7.Glycolysis is an anaerobic process
- A.
True
- B.
False
- 8.When oxygen is present, a pyruate (pyruvic acid) enters the second stage of aerobic respiration, which is the formation of Acetyl coenzyme A. Which of the following is true about that process?
- A.
Carbon dioxide is a product
- B.
Oxygen is a reactant
- C.
2 more NADH's are formed
- D.
Acetyl coenzyme A is a 3 carbon sugar
- E.
Acetyl coenzyme A is a 2 carbon sugar
- 9.The Krebs cycle is the third step of cellular respiration. it is also known as the citric acid cycle because as soon as acetyle coenzyme A enters the cycle it undergoes a chemical reaction that creates a citric acid molecule which then moves on to the next stage of reactions. Citric Acid contains 6 carbon molecules. EXPLAIN how the 2 carbon sugar gets turned into a 6 carbon sugar again.
- 10.The kreb cycle is where most of the ATP in aerobic respiration is formed?
- A.
True
- B.
False
- 11.So if you only make 2 ATP per glucose molecule (1 for each turn - remember that for each turn you are only using half of the glucose) what is the point of the kreb cycle????
- 12.Look at figure 1 on page 59: Where are the proteins that make up the electron transport chain located?
- A.
Inner membrane
- B.
Outer membrane
- C.
Matrix
- D.
Intermembrane space
- 13.Oxygen plays a vital role in the electron transport chain because it is the ___________________ electron acceptor.
- 14.Name one type of electron carrier in the electron transport chain:
