Some friends are trying to make wine in their basement. They've added yeast to a sweet grape juice mixture and have allowed the yeast to grow. After several days they find that sugar levels in the grape juice have dropped, but there's no alcohol in the mixture. The most likely explanation is that the mixture needs more sugar, because yeast need a lot of energy before they can begin to produce alcohol. the mixture needs less oxygen, because yeast only produce alcohol in the absence of oxygen. the mixture needs more oxygen, because yeast need oxygen to break down sugar and get enough energy to produce alcohol. the yeast used the alcohol as a carbon source.
the mixture needs less oxygen, because yeast only produce alcohol in the absence of oxygen.
The enzyme ATP synthase catalyzes the phosphorylation of ADP to form ATP. In eukaryotic cells, the energy needed for this endergonic reaction is derived from _____. the fermentation of pyruvate to form lactic acid the movement of FADH2 from the cytoplasm to the mitochondria the reduction of NAD+ to form NADH the movement of hydrogen ions across the mitochondrial membrane
the movement of hydrogen ions across the mitochondrial membrane
A child is born with a rare disease in which mitochondria are missing from skeletal muscle cells. However, the muscles still function. Physicians find that the muscles require extremely high levels of oxygen to function. the muscles contain large amounts of lactate following even mild physical exercise. the muscles contain large amounts of carbon dioxide following even mild physical exercise. the muscle cells cannot split glucose to pyruvate.
the muscles contain large amounts of lactate following even mild physical exercise.
A kilocalorie is defined as the quantity of food used to maintain normal bodily functions. the quantity of food consumed during a given type of exercise. the quantity of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1°C. the quantity of glucose needed to increase the body temperature by 1°C.
the quantity of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1°C.
Oxidative phosphorylation could not occur without glycolysis and the citric acid cycle, because _____.
these two stages supply the electrons needed for the electron transport chain
How do cells capture the energy released by cellular respiration? They store it in molecules of carbon dioxide. They produce ATP. The energy is coupled to oxygen. They produce glucose.
they produce ATP
Rotenone is a poison that blocks the electron transport chain. When it does so, glycolysis and the citric acid cycle eventually halt as well. This is because _____. they run out of NAD+ and FAD electrons are no longer available from the electron transport chain they run out of ATP the buildup of unused oxygen interferes with glycolysis and the citric acid cycle
they run out of NAD+ and FAD
Rotenone is a poison commonly added to insecticides. Insects exposed to rotenone will die because they will no longer be able to perform anaerobic respiration. they will no longer be able to produce adequate amounts of ATP. they will no longer be able to absorb water and will become dehydrated. high levels of fermentation products will build up in their bodies.
they will no longer be able to produce adequate amounts of ATP.
Using the ATP generated during cellular respiration, the intermediates of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle can be siphoned off and used _____. to provide virtually all the heat needed to maintain body temperature to create energy sources, such as glucose or amino acids, that are recycled back through respiration, thus allowing a continual source of ATP with relatively little food intake to power the biosynthesis of amino acids, fats, and sugars to generate the ADP that is used to power biosynthetic pathways
to power the biosynthesis of amino acids, fats, and sugars
A gram of fat oxidized by cellular respiration produces approximately _____ as much ATP as a gram of carbohydrate. half 4 times twice 10 times
twice
As a scientist employed by the FDA, you've been asked to sit on a panel to evaluate a pharmaceutical company's application for approval of a new weight loss drug called Fat Away. The company has submitted a report summarizing the results of their animal and human testing. In the report, it was noted that Fat Away works by affecting the electron transport chain. It decreases the synthesis of ATP by making the mitochondrial membrane permeable to H+, which allows H+ to leak from the intermembrane space to the mitochondrial matrix. This effect leads to weight loss. The method of weight loss described for Fat Away shows that the drug is acting as a metabolic uncoupler. redox promoter. feedback inhibitor. oxygen carrier.
uncoupler
Which of the following organisms can make organic molecules from water and carbon dioxide? mushroom bear wheat crayfish
wheat
Fat is the most efficient molecule for long-term energy storage even compared to carbohydrates because _____. with their numerous hydrogen atoms, fats provide an abundant source of high-energy electrons when compacted, fat occupies less volume than an equivalent amount of carbohydrate compared to carbohydrates, fat produces fewer toxic by-products when it is metabolized fats can directly enter the electron transport chain, the phase of respiration that produces the most ATP
with their numerous hydrogen atoms, fats provide an abundant source of high-energy electrons
