About This Quiz


How much do you understand about cellular respiration? Cellular respiration is a set of metabolic reactions and processes in organisms' cells to convert biochemical energy from nutrients to adenosine triphosphate and then excrete waste products. The two major elements necessary for cellular respiration are glucose and oxygen. Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts. If you are confused about cellular respiration, rest easy. This great quiz can serve you.

    What do the respiratory system and cellular respiration have in common?

    • Oxogen has a key role in both of them

    • They were discovered by the same scientist

    • Nothing

    Correct Answer
    A. Oxogen has a key role in both of them
    Explanation
    The correct answer is that oxygen has a key role in both the respiratory system and cellular respiration. This is because the respiratory system is responsible for bringing oxygen into the body and removing carbon dioxide, while cellular respiration is the process by which cells use oxygen to produce energy. Oxygen is essential for both processes to occur effectively.

    In which organelle does cellular respiration take place?

    • Nuclei

    • Mitochondria

    • Ribosomes

    Correct Answer
    A. Mitochondria
    Explanation
    Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, in the form of ATP. This process occurs in the mitochondria, which are membrane-bound organelles found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. Mitochondria have their own DNA and are often referred to as the "powerhouses" of the cell due to their role in generating energy. Therefore, the correct answer is mitochondria.

    What is it called when a person isn't getting enough oxygen?

    • Hypoxia

    • Zymurgy

    • Yttrium

    Correct Answer
    A. Hypoxia
    Explanation
    Hypoxia is the correct answer because it refers to a condition where the body or a specific tissue is not receiving enough oxygen. This can occur due to various reasons such as high altitudes, lung diseases, or respiratory problems. Hypoxia can lead to symptoms like shortness of breath, confusion, and even organ damage if left untreated. Zymurgy refers to the study of fermentation, while yttrium is a chemical element and not related to the lack of oxygen in the body.

  • 5. 

    What is ATP?

    • A gastorus waste product of cellular respiration

    • An energy-packed molecule that powers living cells

    • Another name for oxogen

    Correct Answer
    A. An energy-packed molecule that powers living cells
    Explanation
    ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate and it is an energy-packed molecule that powers living cells. It is often referred to as the "energy currency" of the cell because it provides the energy necessary for various cellular processes. ATP is synthesized during cellular respiration and is used by cells to carry out functions such as muscle contraction, active transport, and synthesis of molecules. It is not a gastorus waste product of cellular respiration, nor is it another name for oxygen.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    One by-product of cellular respiration is carbon dioxide.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    During cellular respiration, glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce energy in the form of ATP. This process also releases carbon dioxide as a waste product. Carbon dioxide is produced during the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain, which are part of cellular respiration. Therefore, it is correct to say that carbon dioxide is a by-product of cellular respiration.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Cellular respiration occurs in

    • Humans only

    • Plants only

    • Almost every plant and animal

    Correct Answer
    A. Almost every plant and animal
    Explanation
    Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water. It is a fundamental metabolic process that occurs in almost every plant and animal. Through cellular respiration, organisms are able to generate the energy needed for various biological processes. This process is not limited to humans or plants only, but is a universal process that takes place in the cells of almost every living organism.

    Cellular respiration requires what gas to enter the bloodstream?

    • Oxogen

    • Nitrogen

    • Carbon dioxide

    Correct Answer
    A. Oxogen
    Explanation
    Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water. Oxygen is required for this process to occur as it acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, allowing for the production of ATP (energy) in the mitochondria. Therefore, oxygen needs to enter the bloodstream in order to be transported to cells and support cellular respiration.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Why is cellular respiration important?

    • It allows carbon to be released

    • It allows your body to carry oxygenated blood to the heart

    Correct Answer
    A. It allows your body to carry oxygenated blood to the heart
    Explanation
    Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water. This energy is used by the body to perform various functions, including the pumping of oxygenated blood to the heart. Therefore, cellular respiration is important because it provides the energy needed for the heart to function properly and ensures that oxygen is transported to all the cells in the body.
