2.8 Questions. Do these after the Biochemistry Test on Monday 11/20

Please do these questions in your notebook after the Biochemistry Test.  Complete it as homework for Monday 11/27.


  1. Define cell respiration.
  2. What is ATP and what is its advantage for cells?  What is it used for in the cell?
  3. Why do cells need a continual supply of ATP?
  4. What is anaerobic respiration?  Where/when does it occur?
  5. List the 2 summary equations for anaerobic respiration (animals, and yeast and plants).
  6. Discuss bread making and bioethanol as examples of anaerobic respiration.
  7. Do the data-based questions on p. 125.
  8. Discuss anaerobic respiration in humans.
  9. Write the equation for aerobic respiration and state its differences from anaerobic respiration (at least 3).
