What would happen to the muscle cell's rate of glucose utilization under anaerobic conditions relative to aerobic conditions? 1. Glucose utilization would increase a lot. 2. Glucose utilization would increase a little. 3. Glucose utilization would remain the same. 4. Glucose utilization would decrease a little. 5. Glucose utilization would decrease a lot.

Suppose that a cell's demand for ATP suddenly exceeds its supply of ATP from cellular respiration. Which statement correctly describes how this increased demand would lead to an increased rate of ATP production? 1. ATP levels would rise at first, increasing the inhibition of PFK and increasing the rate of ATP production. 2. ATP levels would rise at first, decreasing the inhibition of PFK and increasing the rate of ATP production. 3.

ATP levels would fall at first, decreasing the inhibition of PFK and increasing the rate of ATP production.
4. ATP levels would fall at first, decreasing the inhibition of PFK and increasing the rate of ATP production. An increased demand for ATP by a cell will cause an initial decrease in the level of cellular ATP. Lower ATP decreases the inhibition of the PFK enzyme, thus increasing the rate of glycolysis, cellular respiration, and ATP production.

4. Both electron transport and ATP synthesis would stop. Oxygen plays an essential role in cellular respiration because it is the final electron acceptor for the entire process. Without O2, mitochondria are unable to oxidize the NADH and FADH2 produced in the first three steps of cellular respiration, and thus cannot make any ATP via oxidative phosphorylation. In addition, without O2 the mitochondria cannot oxidize the NADH and FADH2 back to NAD+ and FAD, which are needed as inputs to the first three stages of cellular respiration.

Which of the following statements is the best explanation of what happens to the temperature and carbon dioxide concentration during a one-hour class period in a classroom of 300 students if the heating and air conditioning is turned off and all doors are kept closed? 1. Temperature goes up but carbon dioxide levels remain constant because heat is a by-product of cellular respiration but carbon dioxide is converted to sugar during cellular respiration. 2. Neither temperature nor carbon dioxide levels change because cellular respiration is 100% efficient and because carbon dioxide produced by cellular respiration is just as rapidly consumed by cellular respiration. 3. Temperature goes down and carbon dioxide levels remain constant. This is because cellular respiration, being an endergonic reaction, requires an input of heat energy from the environment to occur and because carbon dioxide is neither produced nor consumed by cellular respiration. 4. Temperature and the level of carbon dioxide rise as heat and carbon dioxide are by-products of cellular respiration. 5. Temperature goes up and the level of carbon dioxide goes down. This is because cellular respiration is an exergonic process that is only about 38% efficient; the remaining energy is lost to the environment as heat. Also, carbon dioxide is being converted to organic molecules such as fats and sugars during cellular respiration.
4. Temperature and the level of carbon dioxide rise as heat and carbon dioxide are by-products of cellular respiration.

NADH and FADH2 are both electron carriers that donate their electrons to the electron transport chain. The electrons ultimately reduce O2 to water in the final step of electron transport. However, the amount of ATP made by electrons from an NADH molecule is greater than the amount made by electrons from an FADH2 molecule. Which statement best explains why more ATP is made per molecule of NADH than per molecule of FADH2? 1. There is more NADH than FADH2 made for every glucose that enters cellular respiration. 2. It takes more energy to make ATP from ADP and Pi using FADH2 than using NADH. 3. The H+ gradient made from electron transport using NADH is located in a different part of the mitochondrion than the H+ gradient made using FADH2. 4. FADH2 is made only in the citric acid cycle while NADH is made in glycolysis, acetyl CoA formation, and the citric acid cycle. 5. Fewer protons are pumped across the inner mitochondrial membrane when FADH2 is the electron donor than when NADH is the electron donor.
5. Fewer protons are pumped across the inner mitochondrial membrane when FADH2 is the electron donor than when NADH is the electron donor. Electrons derived from the oxidation of FADH2 enter the electron transport chain at Complex II, farther down the chain than electrons from NADH (which enter at Complex I). This results in fewer H+ ions being pumped across the membrane for FADH2 compared to NADH, as this diagram shows. Thus, more ATP can be produced per NADH than FADH2.
