During exercise, the heart rate increases and this causes increased blood flow to the muscles.
Unit 2 - Aerobic Respiration
This GCSE Biology quiz looks at aerobic respiration, the process that releases energy from glucose so cells can work, move, divide, and keep the body warm.
1 .
What does respiration release?
Food
Waste
Energy
Light
Respiration is not the same thing as breathing! Respiration is all about energy release, whereas breathing involves gaseous exchange. Breathing supplies the oxygen for repiration and eliminates the waste carbon dioxide from the body
2 .
One reactant in aerobic respiration is oxygen. What is the other?
Glucose
Waste
Urea
Amino acid
This is the substance that is reduced during the reaction
3 .
During exercise, the heart rate increases to increase blood flow to which part of the body?
The kidneys
The muscles
The ears
The eyes
The muscle cells work much harder than normal during exercise
4 .
Muscles store glucose in which form?
As starch
As glycogen
As protein
As oxygen
Glycogen is a huge molecule made up of many glucose molecules all joined together
5 .
During exercise, what happens to the rate and depth of breathing?
It increases
It decreases
It stays the same
It goes up and then down again
This is to get more oxygen to the cells but it also means that the increased levels of carbon dioxide can be dealt with
6 .
Energy is released from which cell organelle?
Nucleus
Cytoplasm
Chloroplast
Mitochondrion
Each cell has many mitochondria
7 .
In plants, energy is used to convert sugars into amino acids. Which of the following are made up from amino acids?
Proteins
Fats
DNA
Starch
Plants need proteins for the cell membrane and to make enzymes
8 .
What does aerobic mean?
With oxygen
With carbon dioxide
With hydrogen
With nitrogen
Respiration is therefore an oxidation reaction
9 .
What is the waste gas released by aerobic respiration?
Carbon monoxide
Ozone
Carbon dioxide
Ammonia
Carbon dioxide is always given off in respiration
10 .
Energy from respiration is not used for which of the following?
Muscle contraction
Building larger molecules from smaller ones
Maintaining a constant body temperature in fish and reptiles
Maintaining a constant body temperature in mammals and birds
These are known as cold blooded animals
