Questions and Answers

1.

Glycolysis makes...
- A.
  
  A large amount of ATP
- B.
  
  A small amount of ATP
- C.
  
  No amount of ATP
Correct Answer
B. A small amount of ATP

Explanation
Glycolysis is the initial step in cellular respiration, where glucose is broken down into pyruvate. During glycolysis, a small amount of ATP is produced through substrate-level phosphorylation. This process involves the transfer of a phosphate group from a high-energy intermediate molecule to ADP, forming ATP. Although glycolysis is an essential metabolic pathway, it is not the primary source of ATP production in cells. The majority of ATP is generated through oxidative phosphorylation in the electron transport chain. Therefore, glycolysis only produces a small amount of ATP compared to the overall energy production in cellular respiration.

2.

If there is little or no oxygen in the cell after glycolysis, _________ will take place
- A.
  
  Anaerobic Respiration
- B.
  
  Aerobic Respiration
- C.
  
  The Krebs Cycle
Correct Answer
A. Anaerobic Respiration

Explanation
If there is little or no oxygen in the cell after glycolysis, anaerobic respiration will take place. Anaerobic respiration is a metabolic process that occurs in the absence of oxygen. It involves the breakdown of glucose into energy without the use of oxygen. This process produces lactic acid or ethanol as byproducts, depending on the organism. Anaerobic respiration is less efficient than aerobic respiration, but it allows cells to continue producing energy when oxygen is not available.

3.

Before the Krebs Cycle takes place, ______ needs to be made.
- A.
  
  Glucose
- B.
  
  Alcohol
- C.
  
  ACetyl CoA
Correct Answer
C. ACetyl CoA

Explanation
Before the Krebs Cycle takes place, Acetyl CoA needs to be made. Acetyl CoA is a molecule that is formed from the breakdown of glucose during glycolysis. It is also formed from the breakdown of fatty acids during beta-oxidation. Acetyl CoA then enters the Krebs Cycle, where it undergoes a series of reactions to produce energy-rich molecules such as ATP. Therefore, the presence of Acetyl CoA is necessary for the Krebs Cycle to occur and for the production of energy in the cell.

4.

Glycolysis is...
- A.
  
  A biochemical pathway
- B.
  
  The first step in cellular respiration
- C.
  
  A process that yields a small amount of ATP
- D.
  
  All of the above
Correct Answer
D. All of the above

Explanation
Glycolysis is a biochemical pathway that occurs in the cytoplasm of cells. It is the first step in cellular respiration, which is the process by which cells convert glucose into usable energy. During glycolysis, glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate, and a small amount of ATP is produced. Therefore, the correct answer is "All of the above" because glycolysis is indeed a biochemical pathway, the first step in cellular respiration, and it yields a small amount of ATP.

Pyruvic Acid is a product of...
- A.
  
  The Krebs Cycle
- B.
  
  Glycolysis
- C.
  
  Lactic Acid Fermentation
Correct Answer
B. Glycolysis

Explanation
Pyruvic Acid is a product of glycolysis. Glycolysis is the initial step in the breakdown of glucose, where glucose is converted into two molecules of pyruvic acid. This process occurs in the cytoplasm of cells and does not require oxygen. Pyruvic acid is then further metabolized in the Krebs Cycle or can be converted into lactic acid through Lactic Acid Fermentation. Therefore, the correct answer is glycolysis.

Rate this question:
6.

CO2 is released during the Krebs Cycle
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
During the Krebs Cycle, also known as the citric acid cycle, CO2 is released as a byproduct. This cycle takes place in the mitochondria of cells and is an essential part of cellular respiration. In this cycle, glucose is broken down and converted into energy in the form of ATP. As part of this process, carbon dioxide is produced and released into the surrounding environment. Therefore, the statement that CO2 is released during the Krebs Cycle is true.

Rate this question:
7.

In eukaryotes, the ETC(Electron Transport Chain) takes place along the cell membrane
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The statement is false because in eukaryotes, the Electron Transport Chain (ETC) takes place along the inner mitochondrial membrane, not the cell membrane. The ETC is a series of protein complexes located in the inner mitochondrial membrane that transfer electrons and generate ATP during cellular respiration.
