Question 1

Question
A cell requires energy to... (choose the CORRECT statements.)
Answer
  • make new materials.
  • grow.
  • move.
  • pump ions across membranes.

Question 2

Question
Which statement about compartmentalised energy production is INCORRECT?
Answer
  • Glycolysis occurs in the sER.
  • The citric acid cycle occurs in the mitochondria.
  • Oxidative phosphorylation occurs in the mitochondrial membrane.

Question 3

Question
Cellular respiration releases chemical energy from food using mechanical energy.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 4

Question
Which statement about the mitochondria is NOT correct?
Answer
  • Mitochondria contain ribosomes and mitochondrial DNA in their matrix.
  • The mitochondria has two phospholipid bilayers, with specific proteins integrated into these.
  • The mitochondria's inner membrane has cristae to increase surface area and efficiency of organelle function.
  • The mitochondria can change shape, fuse and divide, and form branched networks.
  • Mitochondria are capable of producing all their own necessary proteins.

Question 5

Question
Choose the CORRECT statements about glycolysis.
Answer
  • Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol.
  • Glycolysis breaks down glucose into pyruvate, smaller more manageable units.
  • Glycolysis occurs after the Krebs Cycle.
  • Glycolysis releases energy and electrons.

Question 6

Question
Choose the INCORRECT statement about the Krebs cycle.
Answer
  • It is also known as the Citric Acid Cycle.
  • It uses energy(ATP).
  • It produces electrons for the carried NAD and FAD.
  • It processes pyruvate from glycolysis.

Question 7

Question
Choose the statement about oxidative phosphorylation which is INCORRECT.
Answer
  • Oxidative phosphorylation is the final step of energy generation in a cell, and release the largest amount of energy(ATP).
  • Oxidative phosphorylation is made up of two steps: firstly, chemiosmosis, followed by an electron transport chain.
  • Oxidative phosphorylation moves H+ up its concentration gradient, where it is used to make ATP in the protein ATP synthase.
  • Oxidative phosphorylation occurs in the intermembrane space within the mitochondria.
  • Oxidative phosphorylation uses electrons from NADH and FADH.

Question 8

Question
The concentration gradient over the mitochondria's membrane is used to generate ATP.
Answer
  • True
  • False
