Essay Questions
30. What would happen to the process in this figure if oxygen was not available?
This figure depicts the ETC and the chemiosmotic formation of ATP. If oxygen is not
available, the ETC does not function, a proton gradient is not established and ATP is not
produced by ATP synthase. With no oxygen, the organism may convert to fermentation,
which produces only a fraction (1/18 to 1/19) of the ATP produced by aerobic processes.
Eventually cell death may occur.

reproduction.
B. If glucose levels are not high, there may be time to disperse the alcohol "waste."
C. Fermentation can provide a rapid burst of ATP since it does not have to go through the full

Essay Questions
34.
Aerobic respiration involves oxidation - reduction and the movement of electrons from one
molecule to another. Study the figure to identify A and B as either oxidation or reduction.
Cellular respiration involves the complete breakdown of glucose to carbon dioxide and water.
‘A' represents the oxidation of glucose, as electrons and hydrogens are loss and ‘B' represents
the reduction of oxygen, as electrons and hydrogens are gained.
35. Normally our body will run aerobic respiration in order to produce the required amount of
ATP to sustain life. When we run out of oxygen we will shift over to anaerobic respiration.
What is the value of anaerobic respiration to our system?
During aerobic respiration we will be producing 36 ATP with the availability of oxygen.
When the oxygen levels decrease it can cause our system to shift over to anaerobic
respiration. This will cause us to build up lactic acid which leads to muscle cramping and
fatigue. It is the cramping, fatigue and lack of ATP that causes us to decrease our activity
level. This decreased activity level allows the system time to recover and shift itself back to a
state of aerobic respiration. The lactic acid produced will eventually be converted into ATP
for the cell.

38. Some bacteria are strict aerobes and others are strict anaerobes. Some bacteria, however,
are facultative anaerobes and can live with or without oxygen. If given the choice of using
oxygen or not, which pathway should a facultative anaerobe perform?

broken down than anaerobic metabolism.
B. Not use oxygen since it is a facultative anaerobe, it doesn't tolerate oxygen well.
C. Use oxygen because aerobic metabolism is easier.
D. It doesn't matter; both processes will produce the same results.

Essay Questions
41. Compare the metabolic oxidation of proteins to the metabolic oxidation of carbohydrates
in terms of efficiency and specificity.
Answers may vary. Both protein and carbohydrates are capable of being oxidized into ATP.
When proteins are broken down they can enter the metabolic pool as amino acids. The
amino acids can then enter the metabolic pathway at various points: pyruvate conversion,
acetyl CoA conversion and the citric acid cycle. When carbohydrates enter the metabolic
pathway they will start at the glycolysis stage.

42. Alcohol fermentation is used to produce beer, wine and other alcoholic beverages.
Archaeological evidence suggests that the fermentation of fruit to produce wine may have
occurred as early as 6000 to 5000 BC in the ancient cultures that lived in modern-day Georgia
and Iran. How might the first wine have been ‘discovered'? Why would wine have been a
more convenient drink than the grape juice from which wine is made?
Answers may vary. Wine was probably discovered quite by mistake. Fruit juice being stored
in a nonsterile container was somehow contaminated with yeast. The yeast fermented the
juice to wine. Ancient man was thirsty and drank his first sips of fine wine. In ancient
cultures, with no refrigeration and/or sterilization methods, grape juice would have constantly
fermented and/or soured.
43. Under what circumstances would your body synthesize fat? Considering that scientific
studies report that metabolic processes slow down while you sleep and don't ‘kick on' again
until you eat, suggest healthy eating habits that would minimize the amount of energy stored
as fat.
Answers may vary. Our bodies are designed to store food for the future. If you consume more
food (calories) than you need to meet your energy needs, then your body stores that extra food
energy as fat. It is a survival instinct!! The body stores energy to be used at a later time, in
case food is not available. Healthy eating habits would include: eating earlier (ie. breakfast) to
‘quick start' your metabolism, eating frequent, smaller meals to rev up your metabolism
several times a day and avoiding eating late in the day as your metabolism slows down and
food is more likely to be stored as fat.

44. Why does your body store more energy as fat than as a carbohydrate? Compare the
amount of ATP produced from carbohydrates to that produced from fats to support your
answer. Use the data provided.
(The following information will help with your comparisons. Both fats and carbohydrates
undergo catabolism to produce ATP energy. Fat (triglyceride) is hydrolyzed to form glycerol
and three fatty acids. An 18-carbon fatty acid produces approximately 108 ATP molecules
when broken down. Calculate the number of ATPs produced by a fat made of 3 fatty acids,
each of 18 carbon. Compare to ATPs formed from one glucose.)
Answers may vary. Our bodies store energy as fat because it is a more efficient form of
energy storage. Fat has a greater caloric density per gram (9 kilocalories) than carbohydrates
(4 kilocalories). One triglyceride containing three fatty acids, each with 18 carbons, would
produce approximately 324 ATPs compared to the 36 produced by one glucose molecule. The
human body would have to carry more weight if it were to store its energy in carbohydrates
rather than fat.
45. Compare and contrast how ATP is formed in photosynthesis and aerobic respiration.
Answers may vary. In both photosynthesis and aerobic respiration, ATP is formed by the
ETC and chemiosmosis. In both the noncyclic pathway of photosynthesis and in aerobic
respiration, a hydrogen ion (H+) gradient is established as electrons passing through the ETC.
As the H+ flow down their electrochemical gradient through ATP sythase, ATP is produced.
In photosynthesis, the splitting of water also contributes to the H+ gradient, which ultimately
drives ATP synthesis. In aerobic respiration, ATP is also formed through substrate-level
phosphorylation when an enzyme passes a high energy phosphate to ADP.

46. Relate the overall processes of photosynthesis and aerobic respiration in terms of
substrates, end products, byproducts and locations.
Answers may vary. Photosynthesis and aerobic respiration are linked in several ways.
Glucose, which is a product of photosynthesis, is the substrate for glycolysis (aerobic
respiration). Oxygen, which is produced during the light reactions of photosynthesis, may be
used as the final electron acceptor from the electron transport chain. The oxygen is then
reduced to form water. Water is used in photosynthesis and in the citric acid cycle of cellular
respiration. The carbon dioxide produced in the citric acid cycle of aerobic cellular respiration
may be fixed in the Calvin cycle, and then reduced to form carbohydrates, such as glucose.
47. Compare the efficiency of aerobic respiration and fermentation in ATP energy
production. If aerobic respiration converts 40% of the available energy of glucose into ATP,
then what percentage does fermentation convert to ATP?
Aerobic respiration produces 36 (to 38) ATPs from one glucose molecule, whereas
fermentation only produces 2 ATPs from one glucose molecule. Therefore, fermentation
produces only 1/18 (to 1/19th) the amount of energy. If 36 ATP's is 40% of the available
energy in the six-carbon glucose molecule, then 2 ATPs would be equal to 1/18 of 40%,
which is 2.2%. While aerobic respiration converts approximately 40% of the available energy
of glucose to ATPs, fermentation converts approximately 2.2% of the available energy to a
usable form, ATP.
