10 Questions
Anaerobic respiration uses the electron transport chain, while fermentation does not.
True
Fermentation is a way of producing ATP without using oxygen or the electron transport chain.
True
Fermentation is an extension of glycolysis that allows continuous generation of ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.
False
Both alcohol fermentation and lactic acid fermentation are utilized by humans for food and industrial production.
True
Anaerobic respiration takes place in certain prokaryotic organisms that live in environments without oxygen.
True
During cellular respiration, each molecule of glucose is degraded to about 30 molecules of ATP, each with 7.3 kcal/mol of free energy
False
The word glycolysis means 'sugar combining'
False
Glycolysis can be divided into three phases: the energy investment phase, the energy payoff phase, and the energy storage phase
False
Pyruvate is the ionized form of pyruvic acid
True
The energy banked in a single molecule of glucose is 686 kcal/mol under standard conditions
True
Test your knowledge on the processes of fermentation and anaerobic respiration, which enable cells to produce ATP without the use of oxygen. Learn about the electron transport chain, oxidative phosphorylation, and the mechanisms by which certain cells oxidize organic fuel to generate ATP.
