Which of the following are difference(s) between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

(Select all that apply)

aerobic respiration includes the link reaction, Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation

anaerobic respiration requires oxygen

anaerobic respiration occurs only in the cytoplasm

aerobic respiration yields less ATP per glucose molecule

Which of the following organisms cannot survive in the presence of oxygen?

obligate aerobes

eukaryotic cells

obligate anaerobes

facultative anaerobes

In which organisms can alcohol fermentation occur?

(Select all that apply)

animals

yeasts

plants

all of the above

0

2

In which organisms does lactic acid fermentation occur?

(Select all that apply)

animals

yeasts

plants

all of the above

0

1

What does NOT happen during lactic acid fermentation?

lactic acid can be oxidised back to pyruvate

pyruvate accepts a hydrogen from reduced NAD, catalysed by lactate dehydrogenase

lactic acid is formed, and NAD is regenerated

lactic acid is reduced to form glucose

lactic acid may be stored as glycogen

1

Why can't oxidative phosphorylation and the Krebs cycle continue in anaerobic conditions?

there is not enough glucose available

the enzymes required for these processes are not present

all the FAD and NAD will be reduced and cannot accept protons and electrons

the mitochondria are not functioning properly

0

1

Which of the following is a consequence of excessive anaerobic respiration in muscle tissue?

accumulation of lactic acid

cramp and muscle fatigue

reduced pH affecting enzymes

all of the above

0

1

Which of the following is true about facultative anaerobes?

they depend on oxygen to synthesise ATP

they can only perform anaerobic respiration

they can switch between aerobic and anaerobic respiration depending on oxygen availability

they cannot survive in the presence of oxygen

0

/

1

What is the approximate yield of ATP per glucose molecule in anaerobic respiration?

2 ATP

16 ATP

32 ATP

4 ATP

What happens to lactic acid produced during lactic acid fermentation in mammals?

(Select all that apply)
