  1. Question 1

    Cellular respiration is the oxidation of:

    • AFood inside cells
    • BDNA outside cells
    • CProteins in the nucleus
    • DChlorophyll in chloroplasts
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    Cellular respiration is the oxidation of food inside cells to obtain energy.

  2. Question 2

    The most commonly used food molecule for cellular respiration is:

    • AGlucose
    • BCellulose
    • CProtein
    • DChlorophyll
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    The chapter states that glucose is the most common food used by cells to obtain energy.

  3. Question 3

    Cellular respiration occurring in the presence of oxygen is called:

    • AAerobic respiration
    • BAnaerobic respiration
    • CFermentation
    • DGlycolysis
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    Aerobic respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen.

  4. Question 4

    Aerobic respiration involves the:

    • AComplete oxidation of glucose
    • BIncomplete oxidation of glucose
    • CFormation of alcohol only
    • DFormation of lactic acid only
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    The chapter defines aerobic respiration as the complete oxidation of glucose with maximum energy release.
