CLEP Biology - Problem Drill 06: Metabolism and Cellular Respiration Question No. 1 of 10 Instructions: (1) Read the problem and answer choices carefully; (2) Work the problems on paper as needed; (3) Pick the answer; (4) Go back to review the core concept tutorial as needed. 1. What is the final electron acceptor in aerobic respiration? Question (A) NADH (B) Mitochondria (C) Carbon Dioxide (D) Oxygen (E) FADH2 A. Incorrect! NADH is the first donor to the electron transport chain in aerobic respiration. B. Incorrect! The process of aerobic respiration occurs in the mitochondrion. C. Incorrect! Carbon dioxide is a waste product of aerobic respiration. Feedback D. Correct! Oxygen is the final electron acceptor in aerobic respiration. E. Incorrect! FADH2 is one of the first donors to the electron transport chain in aerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration produces a grand total of 36 ATP and involves three steps: Glycolysis Glucose is broken down into pyruvate. 2 ATP produced. Krebs Cycle Acetyl CoA (made from pyruvate) runs a cycle of reactions, regenerating at the end of each cycle. All of the electrons are passed to NADH and FADH2 (electron carriers). 2 ATP produced. Solution Oxidative Phosphorylation NADH and FADH2 carry electrons to protein machines. NADH and FADH2 pass electrons to machines, which pass them to the final acceptor: oxygen. As they pass electrons, machines pump hydrogen ions to create a concentration gradient. Hydrogen ions flow back due to concentration gradient. Flowing hydrogen ions spin the motor of ATP synthase. ATP synthase produces ATP. 32 ATP produced. The correct answer is (D). RapidLearningCenter.com © Rapid Learning Inc.

Incorrect! Anabolism is to build up reactions. C. Incorrect! Hydrolysis is the process used to split apart macromolecules. Feedback D. Incorrect! Dehydration synthesis is the process that is used to build up macromolecules. E. Incorrect! Reduction is the gaining of electrons and hydrogens. Metabolism is the sum of all chemical reactions that occur. There is a catabolic reaction, in which there is a breakdown of materials, and there is an anabolic reaction, in which there is a buildup of materials. Anabolism Conditions: excess resources, feeding, and resting. Activities: creation of new structures and storage of nutrients. Role of ATP: requires energy. Solution Catabolism Conditions: deficient resources, fasting, and stress. Activities: destruction of old structures and breakdown of food. Role of ATP: releases energy. The correct answer is (A).

If aerobic respiration produces 32 ATP and anaerobic respiration produces merely 2 ATP, why do cells use anaerobic respiration at all? (Why not just wait until oxygen is available?) Question (A) (B) (C) (D) (E) Advanced organisms do not perform anaerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration produces ATP much more quickly in times of stress. Anaerobic respiration doesn’t produce as much waste as aerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration is important for genetic reproduction. Anaerobic respiration is only done at periods of rest. A. Incorrect! Advanced organisms have the ability to perform anaerobic respiration. B. Correct! Anaerobic respiration does produce ATP more quickly in time of stress. C. Incorrect! Anaerobic respiration does not have as much waste as aerobic respiration, but this is not the reason why anaerobic respiration is done. Feedback D. Incorrect! Anaerobic respiration does not have anything to do with genetic reproduction. E. Incorrect! Anaerobic respiration is not done during periods of rest. Anaerobic respiration produces a grand total of 2 ATP and involves two steps: Glycolysis Glucose is broken down into pyruvate. 2 ATP produced. Fermentation Pyruvate is broken down into ethanol or lactic acid. Glycolysis intermediates produced to allow glycolysis to begin again immediately. The correct answer is (B).
