16
Q

Which of the following best describes the metabolic changes that
occur in the yeast cell?

A

Glycolysis will still happen. Pyruvate won’t form.
So, the yeast cell will undergo alcohol fermentation.

17
Q

What is the next stage after Glycolysis if there is no oxygen available?

A

Fermentation

18
Q

In which way are photosynthesis and cellular respiration different?

A

Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide.
Cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide

19
Q

What are the products of cellular respiration?

A

: ATP and Carbon Dioxide

20
Q

What is the powerhouse of the cell?

A

Mitochondria

21
Q

How many net ATPs are produced in the first stage?

A

2

22
Q

What waste product is released during cellular respiration?

A

CO2

23
Q

What is the reduced form of NAD+?

A

NADH

24
Q

Cells produce ATP most efficiently in the presence of

A

Oxygen

25
Q

What is the outcome of Glycolysis?

A

Pyruvic molecules

26
Q

n the presence of oxygen, cellular respiration occurs in two stages.
They are:

A

Krebs Cycle and ETC

27
Q

When oxygen is present, which molecule is coming from the Pyruvate?

A

Acetyl — CoA

28
Q

Where does the Krebs cycle occur?

A

Mitochondria Matrix

29
Q

Which organism produces its own food/glucose?

A

Autotrophs

30
Q

Where in the cell does Glycolysis take place?

A

Cytoplasm

31
Q

Which process produces the most ATP per molecule of glucose?

A

Aerobic Respiration
