  1. Question 1

    What type of reaction is respiration in terms of energy change?

    • AEndothermic
    • BExothermic
    • CNeutral
    • DReversible
    Show answer

    Answer: B

    Respiration is exothermic because chemical energy is released from food.

  2. Question 2

    What is required for aerobic respiration?

    • ANitrogen
    • BOxygen
    • CCarbon monoxide
    • DHydrogen
    Show answer

    Answer: B

    Aerobic respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen.

  3. Question 3

    Where does aerobic respiration occur in humans?

    • AIn the presence of oxygen
    • BOnly without oxygen
    • COnly in bacteria
    • DOnly in plants
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    Aerobic respiration in humans occurs when oxygen is available.

  4. Question 4

    What is a characteristic of anaerobic respiration?

    • AIt requires oxygen
    • BIt occurs without oxygen

    • DIt occurs only in humans
    Show answer

    Answer: B

    Anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen.

  5. Question 5

    Which organisms are mentioned as carrying out anaerobic respiration?

    • AOnly humans
    • BSome bacteria algae and yeast
    • COnly mammals
    • DOnly flowering plants
    Show answer

    Answer: B

    The chapter states that some bacteria algae and yeast can carry out anaerobic respiration.
