Science · Organisms & Life Processes · ages 12-13
Name ______________________   Date ____________
  1. In a human muscle cell, where does aerobic respiration start, and where do most stages take place?

    • Starts in mitochondria; most stages in cytoplasm
    • Starts in mitochondria; most stages happen there
    • Starts in cytoplasm; most stages in mitochondria
  2. What are the products of aerobic respiration?

    • Glucose and carbon dioxide
    • Carbon dioxide and water
    • Oxygen and water
  3. Breathing and respiration mean exactly the same thing.

    Circle one:   True   False

  4. During PE, why does your heart beat faster?

    • To pump oxygen and glucose to muscle cells faster
    • To force air into lungs in place of the diaphragm
    • To stop the muscles from producing carbon dioxide
  5. A pupil adds energy to the list of substances after the arrow in an aerobic respiration word equation. Which change should they make?

    • List energy as another substance made.
    • Describe the energy release beside the word equation.
    • Remove any mention of energy because the reactions do not release it.
  6. The bars show a pupil's breathing rate in breaths per minute. How much higher is the rate after PE than at rest?

    Resting15After PE35

    Answer: ______________

  7. A runner breathes faster while her muscle cells carry out aerobic respiration. Which statement explains how these processes work together?

    • Breathing breaks down glucose in the lungs; blood then carries all the released energy to muscle cells.
    • Breathing brings in oxygen; blood carries it to muscle cells that release energy from glucose.
    • Breathing stops reactions in muscle cells; blood carries energy made by incoming air to the muscles.
  8. Amir says, 'When I run, my muscle cells make oxygen through aerobic respiration.' Which correction should Amir make?

    • Working muscles do not need oxygen carried in the blood
    • Only the cells in the lungs respire while a person is running
    • Respiration uses oxygen; it does not make oxygen

Aerobic respiration: releasing energy from glucose W1-mt_mquPi2IP-J-s1

  1. Starts in cytoplasm; most stages in mitochondria · Aerobic respiration starts in the cytoplasm. Most stages take place in mitochondria, so neither location alone describes the whole process.
  2. Carbon dioxide and water · Carbon dioxide and water are produced. Glucose and oxygen are reactants used in aerobic respiration.
  3. False · Breathing moves air in and out of the lungs. Respiration releases energy through chemical reactions in cells.
  4. To pump oxygen and glucose to muscle cells faster · Working muscles need more energy. Faster blood flow delivers oxygen and glucose for aerobic respiration and carries carbon dioxide away.
  5. Describe the energy release beside the word equation. · Aerobic respiration releases energy, but energy is not a substance. Describe its release beside the word equation instead of listing it as another substance made.
  6. 20 · Subtract the resting rate from the rate after PE: 35 - 15 = 20 more breaths per minute.
  7. Breathing brings in oxygen; blood carries it to muscle cells that release energy from glucose. · Breathing supplies air. Oxygen crosses into blood and reaches muscle cells, where aerobic respiration releases energy from glucose.
  8. Respiration uses oxygen; it does not make oxygen · Oxygen is a reactant in aerobic respiration. It is used, while carbon dioxide and water are produced.
