Quiz 6

How much ATP is generated by the complete oxidization of pyruvate into CO2 and H2O via aerobic respiration?

36-38

Name the two types of peas that we will be working with in the cellular respiration lab.

Dormant peas and germinating peas

Only glucose can be broken down to generate ATP.

False

In prokaryotic cells, catabolism of pyruvate takes place in the __________________. Whereas, in eukaryotic cells, it occurs in the _________________________.

cytoplasm, mitochondria

Aerobic respiration yields more ATP than anaerobic respiration.

true

Fermentation generates energy (i.e., ATP).

true

The process by which organisms chemically oxidize organic compounds as a means of generating ATP is?

Cellular Respiration

Many species are unable to utilize oxygen as a final electron acceptor during cellular respiration due to:

lack of ETC proteins, lack of oxygen in the environment, lack of enzymes needed to inactivate free radicals

At which stages of aerobic cellular respiration are ATP produced?

glycolysis, kerbs cycle, chemiosmosis
