Introductions Of Cellular Respiration - Quiz

2.

Is C6H12O6 + 6 O2 --> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O the equation for cellular respiration?
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

The given equation, C6H12O6 + 6 O2 -> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O, is indeed the equation for cellular respiration. This equation represents the process by which cells convert glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2) into carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O), releasing energy in the process. Cellular respiration is a crucial metabolic process that occurs in all living organisms to generate energy for various cellular activities.

What breaks down during cellular respiration?
- Glucose
- Carbon dioxide
- Glucose and oxygen
- Oxygen and carbon dixide
Correct Answer

A. Glucose and oxygen

Explanation

During cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen are broken down. Glucose is converted into carbon dioxide and water, while oxygen is used as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain. This process occurs in the mitochondria of cells and is essential for producing energy in the form of ATP.

The cell does not use...
- Carbon dioxide
- Energy
- Oxygen
- Glucose
Correct Answer

A. Carbon dioxide

Explanation

The cell does not use carbon dioxide as a source of energy or for any metabolic processes. Instead, carbon dioxide is produced as a waste product during cellular respiration. The cell uses glucose as a source of energy and breaks it down in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and ATP. Oxygen is essential for the process of cellular respiration, as it serves as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, allowing for the production of ATP. Therefore, the cell uses oxygen and glucose, but not carbon dioxide, in its metabolic processes.

5.

The cell keeps...
- Sugar
- Energy
- Glucose
- Oxygen
Correct Answer

A. Energy

Explanation

The cell keeps energy. Cells require energy to perform various functions such as growth, reproduction, and metabolism. Energy is obtained through the process of cellular respiration, where glucose is broken down into ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy currency of the cell. ATP is then utilized by the cell to carry out its activities. Therefore, the cell needs to keep a constant supply of energy to ensure its survival and proper functioning.
