1. What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic
respiration? - correct answer -Aerobic respiration can only occur
in the presence of oxygen, during aerobic respiration the
reactants oxygen and glucose are turned into products carbon
dioxide, water, and ATP. Anaerobic respiration occurs when
oxygen is not present, occurs in two steps. Glycolysis produces
ATP from the reactant glucose then fermentation created the
lactic acid, or ethanol, depending on the type of fermentation.
2. How do autotrophs differ from heterotrophs? - correct answer -
autotrophs make their own energy, heterotrophs must consume
other organisms to get their energy
3. What is the function cellular respiration? - correct answer -
provides cells with energy they need to function
4. Write the overall equation for cellular respiration. - correct
answer -C6H12O6+6O2>6H2O+6CO2+ATP

5. The first stage of cellular respiration is glycolysis. Where in the
cell does glycolysis take place? - correct answer -cytoplasm
6. List the inputs and outputs of glycolysis. - correct answer -
"Glycolysis Inputs- Glucose, 2 ATP, 2 NAD+, 4 ADP +P
Glycolysis Outputs- 2 pyruvates, 4 ATP, 2 NADH + H+, 2 H2O"
7. Is oxygen required for glycolysis? - correct answer -no
8. The second stage of cellular respiration is the citric acid cycle.
Where in the cell does the citric acid cycle take place? - correct
answer -In prokaryotic cells the citric acid cycle occurs in the
cytoplasm, in eukaryotic cells the citric acid cycle occurs in the
matrix of the mitochondria
9. List the inputs and outputs of the citric acid cycle. - correct
answer -"Inputs- 2 acetyl CoA, 2 oxaloacetate, 2ADP + P, 6
NAD+, 2 FAD
Outputs- 4 CO2, 2 ATP, 6 NADH + H+, 2 FADH2"
