Questions and Answers

What is the primary purpose of cellular respiration?

  • To release oxygen into the environment
  • To break down ATP into smaller molecules
  • To produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for energy (correct)
  • To convert nutrients into waste products
  • What is the role of molecular oxygen (O2) in cellular respiration?

  • It is converted into ATP directly
  • It is a waste product released during respiration
  • It inhibits the process of respiration
  • It is the most common oxidizing agent in cellular respiration (correct)
  • Which molecule is commonly used by animal and plant cells in cellular respiration?

  • Amino acids (correct)
  • Water
  • Chlorophyll
  • Carbon dioxide

    What is cellular respiration?

    <p>Cellular respiration is the process by which biological fuels are oxidized in the presence of an inorganic electron acceptor, such as oxygen, to drive the bulk production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which contains energy.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    What are the two types of respiration and how do they differ?

    <p>The two types of respiration are aerobic, requiring O2, and anaerobic. Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    What are the common nutrients used by animal and plant cells in respiration?

    <p>Common nutrients used by animal and plant cells in respiration include sugar, amino acids, and fatty acids.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    What is the role of ATP in cellular respiration?
