Four

One product of the initial (first) reaction of the citric acid cycle is:

Citrate.

During the citric acid cycle, each acetyl group entering the cycle yields:

A glucose molecule that is metabolized via aerobic respiration has been completely broken down and released as CO₂ by the end of:

the citric acid cycle.

In the electron transport chain, exergonic redox processes drive the endergonic reaction in which:

ATP is produced by phosphorylation of ADP

Coenzyme Q:

Transfers electrons.

The role of the oxygen molecules required for aerobic respiration is

to accept the low energy electrons at the end of the electron transport chain.

During aerobic respiration, oxygen is

Reduced

A drowning death would be most directly due to:

The lack of oxygen to accept hydrogen

Organismal body heat is a:

byproduct of exergonic reactions

Peter Mitchell demonstrated ATP production by aerobic bacteria by placing the bacteria in:

an acidic environment.

Which of the following statements about the electron transport chain is true?

The proton gradient established during electron transport is a form of potential energy

When hydrogen ions (protons) are pumped across the inner mitochondrial membrane, they form a proton gradient. ATP is then formed by a process known as:

Chemiosmosis

In chemiosmosis, ATP is produced as hydrogen ions (protons) pass through:

ATP synthase.

Select the processes that are matched with the incorrect amount of ATP produced by that process per glucose molecule.

citric acid cycle-4 ATP

When one molecule of glucose is completely oxidized in aerobic respiration, the net amount of ATP produced is:

In the skeletal muscle cells of vertebrates, as many as __________ molecules of ATP are produced from one molecule of glucose. This is less than might be expected, because electrons from NADH produced during glycolysis must be shuttled through the ____________ membrane at a cost.

36; mitochondrial

One important regulation point in the aerobic respiration of mammals occurs in glycolysis at the site of the enzyme phosphofructokinase, which is:

inhibited by high levels of ATP.

Deamination of amino acids in mammals yields amino groups that are converted to __________, which is(are) excreted, and __________, which is(are) converted to one of the reactants of glycolysis or the citric acid cycle.

urea; carbon chains

One gram of __________ contains more than twice the amount of energy of a gram of glucose.

Lipids

Which of the following molecules can provide energy through cellular respiration?

glucose, lipids and proteins

Saturated fatty acids store more energy than unsaturated fatty acids. Based on your knowledge of aerobic respiration, you draw this conclusion because saturated fatty acids:

Anaerobic respiration differs from aerobic respiration in that anaerobic respiration:

can utilize NO₃ ^- as the terminal electron acceptor.

The production of alcohol or lactate from pyruvate during __________ occurs as a means of regenerating __________ from __________.

fermentation; NAD⁺; NADH
