Cellular Respiration
1. What is the chemical equation for aerobic respiration?
2. Where does aerobic respiration occur in the cell?
3. In aerobic respiration, identify the energy molecule that is produced by this
process. How do organisms use it?
4. What gas is produced by aerobic respiration? How is this gas recycled in
nature?
5. Do both plants and animals perform aerobic respiration? Explain why or
why not.
6. Do both plants and animals perform photosynthesis? Explain why or why
not.
7. What are the two types of anaerobic respiration (fermentation)?
8. What is the chemical formula for alcoholic fermentation? What organisms
perform this type of respiration? Where does this occur in the cell?
9. What is the chemical formula for lactic acid fermentation? What would
cause this process to occur in human muscle cells? Where does this occur in
the cell?
10.Compare and contrast aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
11.Compare photosynthesis and aerobic respiration.
12.Why was BTB (bromthymol blue) used in the cellular respiration lab?
13.Study the review packet on photosynthesis and respiration, notes, and
handouts.
