Determine if each statement about aerobic and anaerobic respiration is true or false.

aerobic respiration produces more energy compared to anaerobic respiration

aerobic respiration requires oxygen, anaerobic respiration does not

aerobic respiration is less efficient than anaerobic respiration

aerobic respiration requires the input of glucose, while anaerobic respiration does not

Which sequence correctly describes what happens to dietary proteins after they are eaten?

Proteins → amino acids → absorbed into bloodstream → used to build new proteins

Proteins → simple sugars → absorbed into bloodstream → stored as glycogen

Proteins → fatty acids → transported to adipose tissue → used for insulation

Proteins → nucleotides → used to make DNA

After proteins are eaten and broken down into amino acids, how are the amino aicds most commonly used?

Reassembled into new proteins needed by the body

Directly converted into glucose and stored as glycogen without any other use

Permanently expelled unchanged in urine because they cannot be reused

Transformed into DNA and permanently incorporated into the genome

Which statement best describes the set of amino acids used to build proteins across most organisms?

All organisms use the exact same set of 20 standard amino acids for protein synthesis.

Different organisms each use a completely different set of amino acids with no overlap.

Prokaryotes use only 10 amino acids while eukaryotes use 20.

Some organisms use only nonstandard amino acids and exclude the common 20.

Which option explains why a vegetarian human diet must be planned carefully for amino acid balance?

Some plant proteins lack one or more essential amino acids (limiting amino acids), so combining different plant sources can provide a complete set for humans.

Plants contain no amino acids, so vegetarians cannot obtain protein.

All plant proteins are complete and identical to animal proteins, so no planning is ever needed.

Humans can synthesize all amino acids from carbohydrates, so dietary amino acids are unnecessary.

A system of plants, soil, and water are enclosed in a sealed jar that allows sunlight to enter the system. The original mass of the system is 225.5 grams. A student allows the jar to sit near a window for a week and the plants do photosynthesis. What is the mass after a week?

225.5 grams because mass can not be created or destroyed, only transformed

less than 225.5 grams because the plants used up the carbon dioxide and water in the system

more than 225.5 grams because the plants produced glucose and oxygen

we can not know the new mass without knowing the amount of reactants available to the plants

A sealed glass container holds soil, water, and several small plants. The total mass of the closed system is measured to be 310 grams. After two weeks on a sunny windowsill, the plants have grown and produced new leaves. What will the mass of the system be after two weeks?

310 grams, because the law of conservation of mass states that mass cannot be created or destroyed in a closed system

Less than 310 grams, because the plants absorbed nutrients and water

More than 310 grams, because the plants increased in size

We cannot determine the mass without knowing the amount of sunlight absorbed

Soccer players must be able to run for long periods of time during matches. They must fuel their bodies with nutrients in order to do this amount of exercise. Choose the best option for blanks 1-4 that allow athletes to exert this much energy. 1) 2) 3) 4)

1) They eat food before exercising.

1) Their food is completely digested while chewing

2) The food is broken down into carbs and lipids.

2) The food is broken down into nutrients.

3) Usable energy is produced through cell. resp.

3) Usable energy is made from food.

4) The athlete's muscles use energy to contract

4)The athlete's muscles make glucose to get energy

Flask A: 2 snails and 1 plant Flask B: 1 snail and 1 plant Flask C: 1 plant Flask D: water only Which Flask will have the most carbon dioxide and why?

Flask A because it has the most animals doing cellular respiration

Flask A and Flask B will have equal amounts of carbon dioxide because they both have animals

Flask D because it does not have any plants using carbon dioxide

Flask C because there are no animals to use up the oxygen

Flask A: 2 snails and 1 plant Flask B: 1 snail and 1 plant Flask C: 1 plant Flask D: water only Which Flask will have the most oxygen and why?

Flask C because there are no animals to use up the oxygen

Flask A because it has the most animals doing cellular respiration

Flasks A, B and C will have equal amounts of carbon dioxide because they have equal amounts of plants doing photosynthesis

Flasks C and D will be equal because they do not have any animals using up the oxygen

Match the type of biomolecules to the correct description.

used as a main source of energy for cells

can be stringy and fibrous to build skin and muscles

Use the image of the sugar and nucleotide to categorize the following statements as true or false.

Both molecules contain nitrogen

monosaccharieds are used to build nucleotides

Both molecules are used to supply energy to cells
