Cellular Respiration
1. If the carbons from glucose were radioactively labeled, what molecule(s) would end up
with the label?
A. pyruvate
B. citric acid
C. carbon dioxide
D. carbon dioxide and citrate
E. pyruvate and carbon dioxide
The carbons from the glucose are converted into carbon dioxide in the preparatory reaction.
During the citric acid cycle the carbons are incorporated into citrate before being released
into the carbon dioxide.
Cellular respiration is the release of energy from molecules such as glucose accompanied by
the use of this energy to synthesize ATP molecules. It is an aerobic process that uses oxygen
and releases carbon dioxide. Do not confuse cellular respiration with the respiratory system.

ATP contains just the right amount of energy necessary for most cellular reactions. It is not
stored within the cell or broken down into carbon dioxide and water. Although it is relatively
easy to synthesize, that does not make it a useful energy source.

13. Which of the following reactions is NOT part of the cellular respiration pathway?
A. glycolysis
B. citric acid cycle
C. Calvin cycle
D. electron transport chain
E. preparatory reaction (prep)
Cellular respiration includes glycolysis, the preparatory reaction, the citric acid cycle, and the
electron transport chain. The Calvin cycle is part of photosynthesis.
The four phases of cellular respiration allow the energy of the glucose molecule to be
released in a stepwise fashion and converted into ATP. If the breakdown occurred all at once,
most of the energy would be released as heat. The body can make ATP from different
substrates but that is not the reason for the phases.

52. In cellular respiration, what is the relationship between the energy content of the reactants
(glucose and O2) and products (CO2 and H2O)?
A. The energy content of the reactants (glucose and O2) must equal the energy content of the
products (CO2 and H2O).
B. The energy content of the reactants (glucose and O2) must be greater than the energy
content of the products (CO2 and H2O).
C. The energy content of the reactants (glucose and O2) must be less than the energy content
of the products (CO2 and H2O).

the energy content of the products (CO2 and H2O).
E. There is no relationship between O2 and H2O, but the energy content of glucose is less
than that of CO2.
Glucose is a high-energy molecule while carbon dioxide is low energy. The energy content
of the reactants is greater than that of the products because ATP is formed.
53. The energy difference between the reactant glucose and oxygen molecules and the
product water and carbon dioxide is 686 kilocalories, yet the 36 ATP molecules produced are

67. List, in order, the stages of aerobic cellular respiration and indicate where they occur in
the cell.
68. What are the correct outputs, during the citric acid cycle, from one molecule of glucose?
A. 6 NADH, 4 CO2, 2 ATP, 2 FADH2
B. 3 NADH, 2 CO2, ATP, FADH2
C. 2 acetyl - CoA & 2 CO2
D. 6 NADH, 2 CO2, 4 ATP, 6 FADH2

The correct outputs, during the citric acid cycle from one molecule of glucose is 6 NADH, 4
CO2, 2 ATP, 2 FADH2. The glucose will split into two pyruvates, each of which will be
converted into acetyl CoA which then will go through the citric acid cycle. Two acetyl, CoA
& 2 CO2, are the end products of the preparatory reaction. Two pyruvates, 2 NADH, 2 ADH,
