8 NAME:
4. In the space to the right, draw a simplified diagram of the structure of ATP.
Label the location of the high-energy bond:
5. Explain why ATP is a more useful store of chemical potential energy within living organisms than glucose.
7. In which two parts of the cell does aerobic respiration take place?
8. Define aerobic:
9. Define anaerobic:
13. Describe how a respirometer (example shown, right) can be used to measure
rate of respiration:
15. The respirometer above can also be used to measure the respiration rate in small invertebrates. Describe the ethical
and environment concerns that must be addressed before the respirometer can be used for animal experimentation.
17. Bioethanol is ethanol produced by living organisms, for use as a renewable energy source. It can be used as a fuel in
vehicles, sometimes in a pure state and sometimes mixed with gasoline. Describe how bioethanol can be produced
from plant material with reference to the function of yeast in the process.
18. Aerobic respiration generates a much greater yield of ATP. Despite this it is still important for humans to carry out
anaerobic respiration. State the main advantages to humans of anaerobic respiration.
19. Explain why anaerobic respiration can only be done for short periods of time.
