Regents Biology/Cell Respiration Quiz
Edwards-Knox Central School
Instructor: Mr. Buckley Choose the number of each of the following choices that best completes each of the following statements or answers each of the following questions. (4 pts. @)
1. Fermentation is a less effective process than aerobic respiration because (1.) ATP molecules can be formed by anaerobic respiration (2.) this process is not utilized to produce ATP (3.) much potential energy for ATP production remains bound up in the resulting alcohol (4.) two ATP molecules must be used to start the process
2. Which process is represented by the equation below? glucose ------>lactic acid + ATP (1.) aerobic respiration (2.) anaerobic respiration (3.) photosynthesis (4.) chemosynthesis
3. Yeast cells undergoing anaerobic respiration produce carbon dioxide and (1.) water (2.) ethyl alcohol (3.) nitrogen (4.) glucose
4. Which process yields lactic acid and small amounts of usable energy? (1.) photosynthesis (2.) aerobic respiration (3.) anaerobic respiration (4.) chemosynthesis
5. Where do the final stages of cellular respiration appear to take place? (1.) along the endoplasmic reticulum (2.) in the cytoplasm (3.) on the surface of ribosomes (4.) within the mitochondria
6. During the process of respiration, energy from the oxidation of glucose is stored in molecules of (1.) DNA (2.) ADP (3.) ATP (4.) RNA
7. The greatest amount of energy is released by the (1.) oxidation of glucose to lactic acid (2.) conversion of carbon dioxide and water to glucose (3.) conversion of glucose to pyruvic acid (4.) oxidation of glucose to carbon dioxide and water
8. Muscles cells engaged in vigorous activity build up relatively high concentrations of (1.) lactic acid (2.) pyruvic acid (3.) alcohol (4.) oxygen
9. The production of energy-rich ATP molecules is the direct result of
(1) recycling light energy to be used in the process of photosynthesis
(2) releasing the stored energy of organic compounds by the process of
respiration
(3) breaking down starch by the process of digestion
(4) copying coded information during the process of protein synthesis
10. The net yield of ATP from the process of fermentation is (1.) 2 (2.)
4 (3.) 34 (4.) 36
For each process in questions 11 through 17, write the letter of the choice preceding the type of respiration, chosen from the list below, to which the process is most closely related.
A. Aerobic respiration
B. Anaerobic respiration
C. Neither aerobic or anaerobic respiration
D. Both aerobic and anaerobic respiration
11. Process by which glucose is utilized by a cell.
12. Results in a net yield of 36 ATP.
13. Process which utilizes O2 as a raw material.
14. Process which utilizes CO2 as a raw material.
15. Process which liberates carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol.
16. Process known as fermentation.
17. Process known as glycolysis or lactic acid fermentation.
18. After strenuous exercise, a muscle cell would contain a decreased amount of (1.) lactic acid (2.) glucose (3.) ADP (4.) carbon dioxide
19. The brewing and baking industries depend on the activity of organisms which obtain energy by (1.) photosynthesis (2.) aerobic respiration (3.) anaerobic respiration (4.) chemosynthesis
20. Aerobic respiration and fermentation are similar in that both processes (1.) require oxygen (2.) utilize light energy (3.) liberate energy (4.) produce carbohydrates
21. How many times as efficient is aerobic respiration compared to anaerobic respiration? (1.) 2X (2.) 10X (3.) 18X (4.) 36X
22. Muscle cells in athletes often have more mitochondria than muscle cells
in nonathletes. Based
on this observation, it can be inferred that the muscle cells in athletes
(1) have a smaller demand for cell proteins than the muscle cells of nonathletes
(2) reproduce less frequently than the muscle cells of nonathletes
(3) have nuclei containing more DNA than nuclei in the muscle cells of
nonathletes
(4) have a greater demand for energy than the muscle cells of nonathletes
23. Living organisms must be able to obtain materials, change the materials into
new forms, remove
poisons, and move needed material from one place to another. Many of these
activities directly
require (1) energy released from ATP (2) carbohydrates formed from
receptor molecules
(3) the synthesis of DNA (4) the breakdown of energy-rich inorganic
compounds
24 Which statement best describes cellular respiration?
(1) It occurs in animal cells but not in plant cells.
(2) It converts energy in food into a more usable form.
(3) It uses carbon dioxide and produces oxygen.
(4) It stores energy in food molecules.
Base your answers to question 25 on the information below and on your knowledge
of biology.
Carbon exists in a simple organic molecule in a leaf and in an inorganic
molecule in the air humans exhale.
25 Identify the carbon-containing molecule that humans exhale and the process
that produces it.
