Follow the steps to successful test taking: Read the question first Write down your knowledge of topic relating to the question Go back and read the context of the question find the most suitable answer 1. A scientist observes a plant in a sealed container exposed to light and measures the gasses present over time. What would you expect to find in the container if photosynthesis and cellular respiration are both occurring? a. Increasing oxygen, decreasing carbon dioxide b. Increasing carbon dioxide, decreasing oxygen c. Stable levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide O d. Only oxygen present, no carbon dioxide 2. If an inhibitor were to bind to stop the flow of e- through the electron transport chain in cellular respiration, what would be the likely consequence? a. ATP production would increase as electrons accumulate. b. Glycolysis would increase to make up for the loss of ATP in the mitochondria c. The Krebs cycle would produce more NADH to compensate. d. The H+ gradient would never form, therefore ATP synthase would come to a halt. O 3. When a plant cell performs photosynthesis, it produces glucose and oxygen. How does this relate to cellular respiration in an animal cell? a. The glucose produced in the plant cell can be used in cellular respiration in an O animal cell to produce ATP. b. The oxygen produced in the plant cell is used to break down carbon dioxide in the animal cell. c. Photosynthesis uses ATP produced by animal cells to form glucose. d. Cellular respiration in animal cells produces glucose, which is sent to plant cells for photosynthesis. 4. During intense exercise, a runner’s muscle cells switch from aerobic to anaerobic respiration. Which of the following best describes a consequence of this switch? a. The cells will produce more ATP by utilizing the Krebs cycle. b. The cells will stop glycolysis to conserve energy. c. The cells will produce lactic acid instead of using the electron transport chain. Od. The cells will increase oxygen consumption to compensate. 5. If the enzyme responsible for catalyzing carbon fixation in photosynthesis (RuBisCO) is inhibited, what would most likely happen to the rate of cellular respiration in a plant cell over time? a. Cellular respiration rate would increase immediately. b. Cellular respiration rate would decrease as photosynthesis would produce less glucose. Oc. Cellular respiration would remain constant as it is unrelated to photosynthesis. d. Cellular respiration would immediately stop due to lack of ATP. 6. Which of the following best explains the role of oxygen in the electron transport chain of cellular respiration? O a. b. Oxygen serves as the final electron acceptor, forming water as a byproduct. Oxygen is broken down to release glucose. c. Oxygen provides the electrons to begin the chain. d. Oxygen is used to pump protons across the mitochondrial membrane. 7. During the Krebs cycle, each molecule of glucose produces two molecules of ATP. However, many more ATP molecules are generated by the electron transport chain (ETC). Why does the Krebs cycle still play a crucial role in cellular respiration? a. The Krebs cycle directly uses oxygen to produce ATP, which is necessary for all cellular processes. b. The Krebs cycle is the primary source of ATP in cellular respiration, and the ETC simply stores energy for later use. Oc. The Krebs cycle produces NADH and FADH₂, which carry high-energy electrons to the ETC for further ATP production d. The Krebs cycle is necessary to transport carbon dioxide out of the cell and maintain proper pH levels in the mitochondria. 8. If a poison prevents NADH from releasing its electrons in the electron transport chain of photosynthesis, which outcome would you expect? Tellular respiration a. Increased production of water b. Higher rates of glycolysis and Krebs cycle activity c. Increased ATP production from fermentation processes d. Accumulation of NADH and decrease in ATP production 9. A scientist measures a decrease in the concentration of pyruvate in a cell but no increase in lactate or ethanol. Which stage of cellular respiration is most likely affected? a. Glycolysis b. The Krebs cycle c. The electron transport chain d. Fermentation 10. During the light reactions of photosynthesis, ATP and NADPH are produced. How are these molecules specifically used in the Calvin Cycle? a. ATP provides energy for carbon fixation, while NADPH provides the carbon. phosphoglycerate 0 b. ATP and NADPH provide energy and electrons for the reduction of PGA to G3P. c. ATP is used to release oxygen, and NADPH transports carbon dioxide to chloroplasts. d. ATP is stored in the plant cell’s vacuole, while NADPH powers the Krebs cycle. 11. Which of the following best supports the idea that glycolysis is an ancient metabolic pathway? a. It occurs only in eukaryotic cells, indicating it evolved after these complex cells. b. It produces more ATP than the Krebs cycle, showing it evolved for high-energy demands. c. It only functions in aerobic environments, which were rare on early Earth. O d. It takes place in the cytoplasm and does not require specialized organelles, suggesting it could have evolved before complex cell structures appeared. 12. In photosynthesis, NADP+ is reduced to NADPH in the light reactions. What would be the consequence if a plant could not produce NADPH? O a. b. Glucose production in the Calvin cycle would decrease ATP could not be synthesized in the light reactions. c. Oxygen production would cease entirely. d. NADPH would be replaced by NADH to reduce carbon compounds. 13. Why is it significant that glycolysis does not require oxygen? a. Oxygen was widely available during early stages of Earth’s history, so early life forms would rely on glycolysis to use this resource efficiently b. Early Earth had very low levels of oxygen, so a process like glycolysis, which does not depend on oxygen, would have been advantageous for early life forms. c. Processes that require oxygen are simpler and evolved earlier, while those that do not use oxygen developed later. d. Oxygen-producing pathways, like photosynthesis, existed before glycolysis, meaning glycolysis evolved to take advantage of oxygen in the atmosphere.
