Cellular respiration is the name given to a series of biochemical reactions that: makes glucose from carbon dioxide and water uses glucose to make ATP uses glucose to make oxygen uses ATP to make oxygen 2. The steps of respiration occur in different parts of the cell. Where in the cell does glycolysis occur? chloroplast mitochondria cytoplasm nucleus 3. During glycolysis, 6-carbon glucose is broken into: nothing, but is recycled as a catalyst 1 molecule of 6-carbon fructose 2 molecules of 3-carbon pyruvic acid or pyruvate NADH 4. Glycolysis produces a net gain of: no ATP 1 ATP 2 ATP 5 ATP 5. When oxygen is not present, fermentation may be used to break the pyruvate into all of the following except: ethanol oxygen carbon dioxide lactic acid 6. When oxygen is present, pyruvate enters the Krebs cycle. Where in the eukaryotic cell does this occur? mitochondria nucleus cytoplasm lysosome 7. Oxidative decarboxylation links glycolysis to the Krebs cycle. Pyruvate is oxidized into all of the following except: carbon dioxide acetyl-CoA fructose 8. Which of the following is not true of the location of the electron transport system? It may be found in mitochondria in animal cells. It may be found in the cellular membrane of animal cells. It may be found in chloroplasts in plant cells. It may be found in the plasma membrane of bacteria. 9. Which is more efficient in terms of producing ATP from glucose? aerobic metabolism (with oxygen) anaerobic metabolism (without oxygen) 10. How many ATP molecules theoretically may be generated by the complete oxidation of glucose into carbon dioxide? 2 12-20 32 36-38 Cellular Respiration Quiz You got: % Correct. Could Use More Practice With Cellular Respiration ALFRED PASIEKA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY / Getty Images Cellular respiration is a cell's way of obtaining energy, so it's a process you depend on in order to live. You missed some questions, so you might want to review the details of cellular respiration, especially the Krebs or citric acid cycle and glycolysis.
