Questions and Answers
- 1.
Cellular Respiration begins with _____________.
- A.
Glycolysis
- B.
Aerobic respiration
- C.
Oxidization
- D.
Anaerobic respiration
Correct Answer
A. GlycolysisExplanation
Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose into usable energy in the form of ATP. It begins with glycolysis, which is the breakdown of glucose into pyruvate molecules. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm and is an anaerobic process, meaning it does not require oxygen. After glycolysis, the pyruvate molecules can either enter aerobic respiration if oxygen is present or undergo fermentation if oxygen is absent. Therefore, glycolysis is the correct answer as it is the initial step in cellular respiration.Rate this question:

The correct order of cellular respiration is-
- A.
Glycolysis-fermentation-Krebs cycle.
- B.
Fermentation-electron transport- glycolysis.
- C.
Glycolysis-Kreb cycle- electron transport.
- D.
Krebs cycle-glycolysis-electron transport.
Correct Answer
C. Glycolysis-Kreb cycle- electron transport.Explanation
The correct order of cellular respiration is glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and electron transport. In glycolysis, glucose is broken down into pyruvate molecules. The pyruvate molecules then enter the Krebs cycle, where they are further broken down and release carbon dioxide and energy-rich molecules. The energy-rich molecules produced in the Krebs cycle are used in the electron transport chain to generate ATP, the main energy currency of the cell. Therefore, the correct order is glycolysis-Krebs cycle-electron transport.Rate this question:

Muscle soreness can be caused by-
- A.
The Krebs cycle.
- B.
Glycolysis.
- C.
Lactic acid fermentation.
- D.
The Calvin cycle.
Correct Answer
C. Lactic acid fermentation.Explanation
Muscle soreness is commonly experienced after intense physical activity due to the buildup of lactic acid in the muscles. Lactic acid is produced during anaerobic respiration, specifically during the process of lactic acid fermentation. This occurs when the body cannot supply enough oxygen to the muscles to meet their energy demands, causing them to rely on anaerobic metabolism. As a result, lactic acid accumulates in the muscles, leading to the sensation of soreness and fatigue. The Krebs cycle and glycolysis are also involved in energy production but do not directly contribute to muscle soreness. The Calvin cycle is a part of photosynthesis and is not related to muscle soreness.Rate this question:
