Active transport and respiration

Question 1

Define respiration

Answer 1

the process that living organisms use to produce energy, commonly through the intake of oxygen and release of CO2

Question 2

list three examples of active transport

Answer 2

pumps (carrier protein + ATP), exocytosis and endocytosis

Question 3

define respiration

Answer 3

the process in which the cell breaks down glucose (generally sourced from photosynthesis) into useable energy such as ATP

Question 4

What form of respiration requires oxygen, produces lots of ATP, is efficient and occurs in the mitochondria?

Answer 4

aerobic respiration

Question 5

which form of respiration does NOT require oxygen, is less efficient and produces less energy and occurs in the cytoplasm?

Answer 5

anaerobic respiration

Question 6

What is an example of a cell using anaerobic respiration?

Answer 6

prokaryotes (aka bacteria) use anaerobic respiration in low-oxygen environments

Question 7

What’s an example of aerobic respiration being used?

Answer 7

Generally eukaryotic organisms (e.g. humans, animals, plants)
