2 False

The totality of metabolism in humans must include both anabolism and catabolism.

1 True

2 False

Explain why the process of glycolysis and cellular respiration releases the energy of glucose in small quantities rather than all at once.

A little knowledge is sometimes a dangerous thing. For instance, the overall equation for cellular respiration of sugar is essentially the same as for taking a match and burning a sugar cube! Some people believe "spontaneous human combustion" is a simple runaway of normal cell processes. From your study of both cellular respiration, and the tissue environment of cells, why would scientists question the existence of "spontaneous human combustion" and not even consider the idea that it is linked to cellular respiration?

Describe how the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration are linked, and what aspects they have in common.

List and describe the four processes in the oxidation of glucose to carbon dioxide and water.

Discuss the differences in actions, locations, products, and energy yield of anaerobic and aerobic breakdown of glucose.

Describe what fermentation is and how it is different in animals versus yeast.

Explain how fermentation is useful in humans, and why most of the body's glucose breakdown is done using the aerobic pathway.

Discuss what the metabolic pool is and its links to cellular respiration and biosynthesis.

In the process of cellular respiration, a molecule of __________ is completely broken down to form __________, __________, and __________.

Louis Pasteur (a french Biochemist) investigated the metabolism of yeast which can survive under aerobic or anaerobic conditions. He observed that the yeast consumed sugar at a much faster rate under anaerobic conditions that it did under aerobic conditions. Explain this Pasteur effect.

You are running five miles to get some exercise. Describe how your muscle cells are getting energy. Discuss the processes involved and detail the differences that will occur at the start of your run and toward the end of your run.

Briefly describe the three main steps of aerobic glucose metabolism.

Respiration rates are measured by the amount of oxygen per gram of tissue and it was determined that a warm blooded mouse has 2.5 ml O2/gram tissue/hour whereas a cold blooded crayfish has a 0.047 ml O2/gram tissue/hour. Why is there such a dramatic difference?

In the 1940s, some physicians prescribed low doses of a drug called dinitrophenol to help patients lose weight. This unsafe method was abandoned after a few patients died. DNP uncouples the chemiosomotic machinery by making the lipid bilayer of the inner mitochondrial membrane leaky to hydrogen ions. Explain how this causes weight loss.

Explain the relationship among the respiratory system, the circulatory system, and cellular respiration. How are they tied together?

________________________ is a series of reactions, occurring under aerobic conditions, in which large amounts of ATP are produced.

Most of the ATP produced during cellular respiration is generated in the _____________ after the movement of hydrogen ions through ATP-synthesizing proteins in the inner membrane of the mitochondrion.

______________________ is the process by which hydrogen ions move via a concentration gradient through ATP-synthesizing enzymes resulting in the production of ATP.

Briefly compare and contrast the processes of cellular respiration and photosynthesis.

How does the lack of oxygen influence energy availability in animals?

Most of the energy produced by the breakdown of glucose is released as ____________ and the remaining energy is converted to __________.

The organelles responsible for the bulk of ATP production in cellular respiration are the ____________.

How does Baker's yeast in bread dough make the bread rise?

Why is it important to regenerate NAD+ molecules during fermentation?

__________ is the only state in glucose metabolism that does not require oxygen to proceed.

Two possible end products of fermentation are __________ as is produced by our muscle cell under anaerobic conditions and __________ by yeast under anaerobic conditions.

The conversion of glucose to lactic acid is a form of _____________________.

Yeast in a bottle of champagne produce _______________ and _________________.
