Answer:
Respiration makes energy available to all cells to keep them alive.
Explanation:
Respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose to release energy (in the form of ATP), which is essential for cellular functions and survival.
---
Answer:
Aerobic respiration uses the gas oxygen.
Explanation:
"Aerobic" means "with air," specifically requiring oxygen to proceed. Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, making it essential for efficient energy production.
---
Answer:
Aerobic respiration is also called oxidative respiration and the process is sped up using enzymes.
Explanation:
Aerobic respiration involves the oxidation of glucose. Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up the chemical reactions involved in this process without being consumed.
---
Answer:
Cells use the energy from respiration for:
- Muscle contraction
- Active transport
- Growth and repair
- Protein synthesis
(Other valid answers include movement, nerve impulse transmission, maintaining body temperature, etc.)
Explanation:
ATP provides energy for various cellular processes. These include mechanical work (muscle contraction), active transport across membranes, building molecules (biosynthesis), and maintaining homeostasis.
---
Answer:
The entire organism uses energy to:
- Move
- Grow
- Reproduce
- Maintain body temperature
(Other possible answers: digest food, respond to stimuli, etc.)
Explanation:
At the organism level, energy supports life processes like locomotion, development, reproduction, and thermoregulation.

GLUCOSE: __________ SYSTEM
OXYGEN: __________ SYSTEM and __________ SYSTEM
Answer:
GLUCOSE: Digestive system → Circulatory system
OXYGEN: Respiratory system → Circulatory system
Explanation:
- Glucose is broken down during digestion and absorbed into the bloodstream via the digestive system, then transported to cells by the circulatory system.
- Oxygen is inhaled through the respiratory system (lungs), then carried by the blood via the circulatory system to cells.
---
Answer:
Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon dioxide + Water + ATP
Explanation:
This is the simplified version of aerobic respiration showing reactants and products.
---
Given:
- C₆H₁₂O₆ (glucose)
- 6 H₂O (water)
- 6 CO₂ (carbon dioxide)
- 6 O₂ (oxygen)
Answer:
C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂ → 6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O + energy
Explanation:
This is the balanced chemical equation for aerobic respiration. One molecule of glucose reacts with six molecules of oxygen to produce six molecules of carbon dioxide, six molecules of water, and energy (stored in ATP).
---
Answer:
- ATP: Adenosine triphosphate
- ADP: Adenosine diphosphate
Explanation:
- ATP stores energy in its high-energy phosphate bonds.
- When ATP loses one phosphate group, it becomes ADP and releases energy for cellular work.
- ADP can be recharged back to ATP using energy from respiration.

Choose the correct options:
| Option | Correct? | Explanation |
|--------|---------|-----------|
| stores energy permanently | ✘ | ATP stores energy temporarily; it’s not permanent. |
| stores energy temporarily | ✔ | Yes — ATP is a short-term energy carrier. |
| stores food and water | ✘ | Not relevant; ATP doesn’t store food or water. |
| energy easy to travel from place to place | ✔ | ATP can move within the cell to deliver energy where needed. |
| energy disappears without creating a problem | ✘ | Energy is released when ATP breaks down, but it's useful, not “disappearing.” |
| energy easily dissolves | ✘ | Not a key advantage; solubility isn't the main point. |
| lots of energy is wasted | ✘ | This is a disadvantage, not an advantage. |
| stores energy in exact amount needed | ✔ | ATP releases energy in small, manageable amounts (one phosphate at a time). |
✔ Correct advantages:
- stores energy temporarily
- energy easy to travel from place to place
- stores energy in exact amount needed
