Exercise 1
Step 1
1 of 2
Cellular respiration is the metabolic reaction that takes place when an energy is released by the breakdown of molecules, such as glucose, in the presence of oxygen. The equation for cellular respiration is shown below.

oxygen + glucose $rightarrow$ carbon dioxide + water + energy

Result
2 of 2
B. glucose and oxygen
Exercise 2
Step 1
1 of 2
In Krebs cycle, the pyruvic acid molecules produced during glycolysis are broken down into carbon dioxide, NADH, ATP, and FADH$_{2}$. This process takes place inside the mitochondria.
Result
2 of 2
E. pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of reactions
Exercise 3
Step 1
1 of 2
To start glycolysis, the cells need to use 2 ATP molecules. This process can be similar to a person spending money as an investment in order to earn an interest in the end. Once glycolysis is complete, 4 ATP molecules will be produced. As a result, there is a net gain of 2 ATP molecules during this process.
Result
2 of 2
A. ATP
Exercise 4
Step 1
1 of 2
Cellular respiration takes place inside the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells. It is the metabolic reaction that takes place when an energy is released by the breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen.
Result
2 of 2
C. mitochondria
Exercise 5
Step 1
1 of 2
The yeast cells in the dough give off bubbles of carbon dioxide and a small amount of alcohol. The bubbles allows the bread to rise, whereas the alcohol evaporates once the bread is baked.
Result
2 of 2
C. carbon dioxide
Exercise 6
Step 1
1 of 2
Since only single-celled organisms such as bacteria and yeast can do alcohol fermentation, human cells are not capable of performing it. To obtain the energy needed, the human body uses glycolysis, which is the first step in releasing the energy in glucose, and the ATP produced from three sources – stored ATP, ATP from lactic acid fermentation and cellular respiration.
Result
2 of 2
D. alcoholic fermentation
Exercise 7
Step 1
1 of 2
Cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide and water as waste products. The equation for cellular respiration is shown below.

oxygen + glucose $rightarrow$ carbon dioxide + water + energy

Result
2 of 2
D. CO$^{2}$ and H$_{2}$O
Exercise 8
Step 1
1 of 2
Bacteria cells work best when heated. However, a temperature that is hotter than the ideal temperature for bacteria cells will eventually cause the cells to stop fermenting. In this case, as the temperature increases, the rate of fermentation also goes up, However, once the temperature reaches 30 degrees Celsius, the rate of fermentation will decrease.
Result
2 of 2
C. The rate of fermentation increases with temperature, then it rapidly decreases.
Exercise 9
Step 1
1 of 2
According to the data in the graph, once the temperature reaches 30 degrees Celsius, the rate of fermentation will decrease. This indicates that the yeast cannot survive a temperature that goes above 30 degrees Celsius.
Result
2 of 2
C. The yeast cannot survive at temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius
