2
Into which molecule are all the carbon atoms in glucose ultimately incorporated during cellular respiration?
Carbon dioxide
Select the correct statement about cellular respiration.
Cellular respiration and breathing differ in that cellular respiration is at the cellular level, whereas breathing is at the organismal level.
Which stage of glucose metabolism produces the most ATP?
Electron transport and chemiosmosis
Which of these is NOT a product of glycolysis?
FADH2
Which process is not part of the cellular respiration pathway that produces large amounts of ATP in a cell?
Fermentation
Which molecule is metabolized in a cell to produce energy "currency" in the form of ATP?
Glucose
In the process of cellular respiration, what is consumed, and what is produced?
Glucose is consumed, and carbon dioxide is produced.
What process occurs in Box A?
Glycolysis
Which step of the cellular respiration pathway can take place in the absence of oxygen?
Glycolysis
The immediate energy source that drives ATP synthesis by ATP synthase during oxidative phosphorylation is the __________.
H+ concentration gradient across the membrane holding ATP synthase
A glucose molecule is completely broken down to carbon dioxide and water in glycolysis and the citric acid cycle, but together these two processes yield only a few molecules of ATP. What happened to most of the energy that the cell obtains from the oxidation of glucose?
It is stored in NADH and FADH2
Which of the following describes the process of glycolysis?
It represents the first stage in the chemical oxidation of glucose by a cell.
What does this suggest about the evolutionary relationship of these eukaryotic organelles to prokaryotes? How might the amino acid sequences of the ATP synthases from the different sources support or refute your hypothesis? Drag the terms on the left to the appropriate blanks on the right to complete the sentences.
It suggests that the organelles, mitochondria and chloroplasts, arose from a(n) ENDOSYMBIOTIC relationship with BACTERIA early in evolutionary time. If the ATP synthases arose independently for each cases, i.e., through CONVERGENT evolution, you would expect very DIFFERENT amino acid sequences.
A man interested in losing weight and increasing his fitness followed a strict diet and exercise regimen for three months. Body fat analysis indicated that the man had lost 7 kg (about 15 pounds) of fat by following this exercise and diet program. What is the most likely form by which the fat left his body?
It was released as CO2 and H2O.
During electron transport, energy from _____ is used to pump hydrogen ions into the _____.
NADH and FADH2 ... intermembrane space
Which of the following statements about the electron transport chain is true?
NADH and FADH2 donate their electrons to the chain.
Which of these enters the citric acid cycle?
acetyl CoA
In cellular respiration, a series of molecules forming an electron transport chain alternately accepts and then donates electrons. What is the advantage of such an electron transport chain?
The advantage of an electron transport chain is that a small amount of energy is released with the transfer of an electron between each pair of intermediates.
Identify all correct statements about the basic function of fermentation.
The basic function of fermentation is the regeneration of NAD+, which allows continued ATP production by glycolysis.
In most cells, not all of the carbon compounds that participate in glycolysis and the citric acid cycle are converted to carbon dioxide by cellular respiration. What happens to the carbon in these compounds that does not end up as CO2?
The carbon compounds are removed from these processes to serve as building blocks for other complex molecules.
How will a healthy individual's ATP production change during an eight-hour fast?
The individual's ATP production will not change significantly.
Which statement about the citric acid cycle is correct?
The last reaction in the citric acid cycle produces a product that is a substrate for the first reaction of the citric acid cycle.

The reaction proceeds with a net release of free energy.
Which of these is NOT a product of the citric acid cycle?
acetyl CoA
