Questions and Answers

What is the primary purpose of cellular respiration?

  • To break down ATP into chemical energy
  • To drive the bulk production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) (correct)
  • To convert nutrients into waste products
  • To produce inorganic electron acceptors
  • What are the common nutrients used by animal and plant cells in respiration?

  • Sugar, amino acids, and fatty acids (correct)
  • Carbohydrates, minerals, and water
  • Proteins, lipids, and vitamins
  • Starch, cellulose, and glucose
  • What distinguishes aerobic respiration from anaerobic respiration?

  • Anaerobic respiration is more efficient in producing ATP than aerobic respiration.
  • Aerobic respiration produces more waste products than anaerobic respiration.
  • Aerobic respiration requires O2, while anaerobic respiration does not. (correct)

    Study Notes

    Cellular Respiration Overview

    • The primary purpose of cellular respiration is to generate energy for the cell in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate)

    Nutrients Used in Respiration

    • Common nutrients used by animal and plant cells in respiration are glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids

    Aerobic vs Anaerobic Respiration

    • Aerobic respiration distinguishes itself from anaerobic respiration by requiring oxygen (O2) and producing water and carbon dioxide as byproducts, whereas anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen and produces lactic acid or ethanol and carbon dioxide as byproducts

    Reactions Involved

    • Cellular respiration involves three types of reactions: oxidation, reduction, and ATP synthesis

    Oxidizing Agent

    • The most common oxidizing agent used in cellular respiration is oxygen (O2)
