- Cellular respiration is a very challenging topic to learn. Instead of asking you many detailed questions about the process, I would rather you show me that you understand the big picture. Why is it necessary for all organisms to do cellular respiration? It doesn't matter if you are a top tier consumer like you and I or a simple decomposing yeast, all organisms must do some sort of cellular respiration. You can answer this by describing the overall purpose and outcome of cellular respiration. You are not required to get into minute details. I DELLarrow_forwardWhat does the following figure represent? The last steps of anaerobic cellular respiration. b) Oxidative phosphorylation. c) The electron transport chain (ETC) only. d) Chemiosmosis only. e) The light reactions of photosynthesis.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is NOT found in BOTH aerobic respiration and photosynthesis pathways? a) ATP b) Electron transport proteins c) NADPH d) Chemiosmosis e) ATP Synthasearrow_forward
- The creation of the H+ gradient in the mitochondria that powers ATP synthase is an example of: a)Diffusion b)Passive Transport c)Active Transportarrow_forwardWhich of the following DOES NOT describe Cellular Respiration? * a. It provides cells with the energy they need to function. b. Cellular respiration is essential to both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells because this biochemical energy is produced to fuel many metabolic processes, such as biosynthesis, locomotion, and transportation of molecules across membranes c. Without the process of cellular respiration, there is no gaseous exchange and the cells, tissue and other organs die due to the lack of oxygen and by the accumulation of carbon dioxide within the cells and tissues. d. Cellular respiration is a type of passive cell transport. Molecules move from areas O of high concentration to areas of low concentration in order to decrease the concentration gradientarrow_forwardSome scientists claim that aerobic respiration would have never evolved if it were not for photosynthetic microbes. Why may this be true?arrow_forward
- Please explain why each choice is wrong or correct.arrow_forwardWhich of these process is a common step that happens before both aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration? A) citric acid (Krebs) cycle B) glycolylcle C) electron transport chain D) All of the abovearrow_forwardIn analyzing all the steps of cellular respiration, which step would you consider the most important and which step the least important. Give reasons to justify the steps you have chosen.arrow_forward
- Can you please explain the relationship of ATP concentration and NADH concentration in this graph (cellular respiration)? At different treatments of ATP (E.g. At 25 ATP, 50 ATP, 100 ATP), why did the NADH concentration change?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about cellular respiration is TRUE in eukaryotes? A. For every molecule of NADH oxidized in the electron transport chain, 1 molecule of ATP is produced. B. ATP synthase harnesses the flow of protons (hydrogen ions = H+) from the mitochondrial matrix to the intermembrane space to produce ATP. C. ATP synthase transduces the flow of protons (hydrogen ions = H+) from the intermembrane space to the mitochondrial matrix into kinetic (mechanical) energy D. H2O is the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, being oxidized to O2 and H+. E. All of the above are truearrow_forwardThe complete catabolism of one molecule of C6H12O6 into carbon dioxide and water produces a larger amount of ATP in aerobic prokaryotes than it does in aerobic eukaryotes because aerobic prokaryotes: always produce ethanol rather than lactic acid as a byproduct generate more molecules of NADH during aerobic respiration have no transport costs to get NADH into mitochondria generate more molecules of FADH2 during aerobic respiration are able to use pyruvate as a substrate for fermentationarrow_forward
