    Which organelle converts molecules from the food you eat into usable energy?

    • Golgi apparatus

    • Chloroplast

    • Mitochondrion

    • Lysosome

    Correct Answer
    A. Mitochondrion
    Explanation
    The mitochondrion is the organelle responsible for converting molecules from the food we eat into usable energy. It is often referred to as the "powerhouse" of the cell because it produces adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the main source of energy for cellular activities. The mitochondrion carries out cellular respiration, a process that breaks down glucose and other molecules to release energy. This energy is then stored in ATP molecules and can be used by the cell to perform various functions.

    In the electron transport chain, hydrogen ions are pumped across the mitochondrial membrane. What provides the energy to operate the protein pumps?

    • Electrons

    • ATP

    • Oxygen

    • Carbon dioxide

    Correct Answer
    A. Electrons
    Explanation
    Electrons provide the energy to operate the protein pumps in the electron transport chain. As electrons move through the chain, they transfer energy to protein complexes, which use this energy to pump hydrogen ions across the mitochondrial membrane. This creates an electrochemical gradient, which is later used to generate ATP, the energy currency of the cell. Oxygen is the final electron acceptor in the chain, but it does not directly provide the energy for the protein pumps. Carbon dioxide is not involved in this process.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    What enzyme is located at the end of the electron transport chain?

    • ATP synthase

    • Dehydrogenase

    • NADPH

    • Glycolase

    Correct Answer
    A. ATP synthase
    Explanation
    ATP synthase is located at the end of the electron transport chain. This enzyme is responsible for the synthesis of ATP, the main energy currency of the cell. It uses the energy from the flow of protons down their electrochemical gradient to convert ADP and inorganic phosphate into ATP. This process is known as oxidative phosphorylation and occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane in eukaryotes or the plasma membrane in prokaryotes. ATP synthase plays a crucial role in generating ATP, which is essential for various cellular processes.

    The electron transport chain produces water and ATP. Where do the hydrogen atoms come from that are used to form water?

    • Carbon dioxide

    • NADH and FADH2

    • The Calvin Cycle

    • Oxygen

    Correct Answer
    A. NADH and FADH2
    Explanation
    NADH and FADH2 are molecules that carry high-energy electrons produced during cellular respiration. These electrons are transferred to the electron transport chain, where they are passed along a series of protein complexes. As the electrons move through the chain, they release energy that is used to pump hydrogen ions across the inner mitochondrial membrane. These hydrogen ions are then used to form water when they combine with oxygen at the end of the electron transport chain. Therefore, the hydrogen atoms used to form water come from NADH and FADH2.

    Rate this question:

    • Breaking down pyruvate molecules to form molecules of NADH and oxygen

    • Forming citric acid to make NADH, water, and carbon dioxide

    • Producing molecules that carry high-energy electrons to the electron transport chain

    • Bonding coenzyme A to pyruvate

    Correct Answer
    A. Producing molecules that carry high-energy electrons to the electron transport chain
    Explanation
    The main function of the Krebs cycle is to produce molecules that carry high-energy electrons to the electron transport chain. The Krebs cycle, also known as the citric acid cycle, is a series of chemical reactions that occur in the mitochondria of cells. During this cycle, acetyl-CoA is oxidized, resulting in the production of energy-rich molecules such as NADH and FADH2. These molecules then carry high-energy electrons to the electron transport chain, where they are used to generate ATP, the cell's main source of energy.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    In the electron transport chain, energy from the Krebs cycle is used to pump hydrogen ions

    • Across the inner mitochondrial membrane.

    • Through the ATP synthase enzyme in the mitochondrial matrix.

    • Along a concentration gradient in the thylakoid.

    • Along the thylakoid membrane.

    Correct Answer
    A. Across the inner mitochondrial membrane.
    Explanation
    In the electron transport chain, energy from the Krebs cycle is used to pump hydrogen ions across the inner mitochondrial membrane. This is because the electron transport chain is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane, and as electrons pass through the chain, they create a proton gradient across the membrane. This gradient is used to drive the synthesis of ATP, the cell's main energy source. Therefore, the correct answer is that the hydrogen ions are pumped across the inner mitochondrial membrane.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Which process breaks down sugars to make ATP when oxygen is present?

    • Anaerobic respiration

    • Cellular respiration

    • Glycolysis

    • Photosynthesis

    Correct Answer
    A. Cellular respiration
    Explanation
    Cellular respiration is the correct answer because it is the process by which cells break down sugars, such as glucose, to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate) in the presence of oxygen. This process occurs in the mitochondria of cells and involves several stages, including glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain. Cellular respiration is an aerobic process, meaning it requires oxygen to efficiently produce ATP. Anaerobic respiration, on the other hand, occurs in the absence of oxygen, while glycolysis is the initial step of cellular respiration. Photosynthesis, on the other hand, is the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy and produce glucose, which is then used in cellular respiration.

    Which phrase about fermentation is correct?

    • Takes place without oxygen

    • Uses the electron transport chain

    • Only occurs in bacteria

    • Is an aerobic process

    Correct Answer
    A. Takes place without oxygen
    Explanation
    Fermentation is a metabolic process that occurs in the absence of oxygen. It is a way for cells to produce energy when oxygen is not available. During fermentation, glucose is broken down into simpler compounds, such as lactic acid or ethanol, and this process does not require the use of the electron transport chain. While fermentation can occur in bacteria, it is not limited to them and can also occur in other organisms, including yeast and muscle cells. Therefore, the correct phrase about fermentation is that it takes place without oxygen.

    Rate this question:

  • 33. 

    Which endproduct of fermentation causes the burning feeling in muscles that are working hard?

    • Alcohol

    • Lactic acid

    • Carbon dioxide

    • Pyruvic acid

    Correct Answer
    A. Lactic acid
    Explanation
    During intense exercise, the body may not be able to supply enough oxygen to the muscles for energy production. As a result, the muscles switch to anaerobic respiration, which produces lactic acid as a byproduct. The accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles leads to a burning sensation, commonly known as muscle fatigue or soreness. Therefore, lactic acid is the end product of fermentation that causes the burning feeling in working muscles.

    Rate this question:

  • 34. 

    Which end product of alcoholic fermentation is important in the baking industry?

    • Lactic acid

    • Carbon dioxide

    • ATP molecules

    • Alcohol

    Correct Answer
    A. Carbon dioxide
    Explanation
    Carbon dioxide is the correct answer because it is the end product of alcoholic fermentation. In the baking industry, carbon dioxide is important because it helps dough rise. During fermentation, yeast converts sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide gas gets trapped in the dough, causing it to expand and create air pockets. This gives the bread a light and fluffy texture. Without carbon dioxide, bread would be dense and flat. Therefore, carbon dioxide plays a crucial role in the baking industry.
