15
1 glucose molecule can produce how many molecules of ATP via cellular respiration?
36
The primary role of oxygen in cellular respiration is to
Act as an acceptor for electrons and hydrogen ions
All of the following are functions of the citric acid cycle except
Adding electrons and protons to oxygen, forming water
Cellular respiration harvests the most chemical energy from which of the following?
Chemiosmotic phosphorylation
Where does the process of glycolysis occur?
Cytosol
In chemiosmotic phosphorylation, what is the most direct source of energy that is used to synthesize ATP?
Energy released from the movement of protons through ATP synthase
During aerobic respiration, electrons travel downhill in which sequence?
Food-NADH-electron transport chain-oxygen
Which process in eukaryotic cells will proceed normally whether O2 is present or not?
Glycolysis
A molecule that's had an ATP phosphate group transferred to it
Has an increased chemical reactivity; it is primed to do cellular work

I III IV
In the absence of oxygen, pyruvate can still proceed through fermentation. Which of the following is a possible product of this pathway?
Lactic acid
Where are the proteins of the electron transport chain located?
Mitochondrial inner membrane
Energy released by the electron transport chain is used to pump H+ into which location?
Mitochondrial inter membrane space
Which of the following electron carriers results in the most energy provided for ATP synthesis?
NAD+
The ATP made during glycolysis is generated by
substrate-level phosphorylation
