The Cellular Respiration Quiz

• In the presence of sufficient oxygen, pyruvate is transported into the mitochondria.
• Two molecules of reduced NADH are also transported during glycolysis.
• Pyruvate is converted to acetyl-CoA in the mitochondria.
• Acetyl-CoA enters the Krebs cycle for ATP resynthesis.
• NADH molecules enter the electron transport system for ATP resynthesis.
• Lactic acid does not cause metabolic acidosis.
• Lactic acidosis is a misnomer.
• Phosphoglycerate kinase reaction of glycolysis involves the transfer of a phosphate leaving a COO- group.
• No proton exists to dissociate from lactate.
• Net reaction for glycolysis when pyruvate is shuttled to the mitochondria is glucose + 2Pi + 2ADP + 2NAD+ → 2Pyruvate + 2ATP + 2NADH + 2H2O.

This quiz will test your knowledge of the various steps involved in cellular respiration, specifically focusing on glycolysis and the conversion of pyruvate to ATP. You'll be quizzed on important details such as the movement of molecules, the role of NADH, and the key reactions that occur in each stage of the process. Whether you're a student studying biology or just looking to expand your knowledge, this quiz is a great way to challenge yourself and improve your understanding of cellular res
