Which of the following is the first stage of cellular respiration?

  1. Glycolysis

  2. Krebs Cycle

  3. Electron Transport Chain

  4. Oxidative Phosphorylation


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Glycolysis is the first stage of cellular respiration, where glucose is broken down into pyruvate.

What is the net gain of ATP molecules during glycolysis?

  1. 2

  2. 4

  3. 6

  4. 8


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

During glycolysis, 2 molecules of ATP are produced and 2 molecules of ATP are consumed, resulting in a net gain of 2 ATP molecules.

Which of the following is a product of glycolysis?

  1. Pyruvate

  2. Acetyl CoA

  3. NADH

  4. FADH2


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Pyruvate is one of the products of glycolysis, along with NADH and ATP.

What is the role of pyruvate dehydrogenase in cellular respiration?

  1. Converts pyruvate to acetyl CoA

  2. Generates NADH and FADH2

  3. Produces ATP through oxidative phosphorylation

  4. Regulates the Krebs Cycle


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Pyruvate dehydrogenase is an enzyme that converts pyruvate to acetyl CoA, which then enters the Krebs Cycle.

How many molecules of ATP are produced during the Krebs Cycle?

  1. 2

  2. 4

  3. 6

  4. 8


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

During the Krebs Cycle, 2 molecules of ATP are produced per molecule of acetyl CoA.

Which of the following is a product of the Krebs Cycle?

  1. Pyruvate

  2. Acetyl CoA

  3. NADH

  4. FADH2


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

NADH is one of the products of the Krebs Cycle, along with FADH2, ATP, and carbon dioxide.

What is the role of the electron transport chain in cellular respiration?

  1. Generates ATP through oxidative phosphorylation

  2. Produces NADH and FADH2

  3. Converts pyruvate to acetyl CoA

  4. Regulates the Krebs Cycle


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The electron transport chain is responsible for generating ATP through oxidative phosphorylation, using the energy released from the transfer of electrons.

How many molecules of ATP are produced during oxidative phosphorylation?

  1. 2

  2. 4

  3. 6

  4. 32


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

During oxidative phosphorylation, approximately 32 molecules of ATP are produced per molecule of glucose.

Which of the following is the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain?

  1. Oxygen

  2. NADH

  3. FADH2

  4. Pyruvate


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Oxygen is the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, and its reduction to water is coupled with the generation of ATP.

What is the overall yield of ATP molecules from the complete oxidation of one molecule of glucose through cellular respiration?

  1. 2

  2. 38

  3. 32

  4. 68


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The complete oxidation of one molecule of glucose through cellular respiration yields approximately 38 molecules of ATP.

Which of the following is a key regulatory enzyme in glycolysis?

  1. Hexokinase

  2. Phosphofructokinase

  3. Pyruvate kinase

  4. Lactate dehydrogenase


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Phosphofructokinase is a key regulatory enzyme in glycolysis, controlling the rate of glucose breakdown.

What is the role of NADH and FADH2 in cellular respiration?

  1. Electron carriers

  2. Energy storage molecules

  3. Coenzymes

  4. Hormones


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

NADH and FADH2 are electron carriers that transfer electrons through the electron transport chain.

Which of the following is a product of the Krebs Cycle that enters the electron transport chain?

  1. Pyruvate

  2. Acetyl CoA

  3. NADH

  4. FADH2


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

NADH is a product of the Krebs Cycle that enters the electron transport chain, along with FADH2.

What is the role of ATP synthase in cellular respiration?

  1. Generates ATP through oxidative phosphorylation

  2. Produces NADH and FADH2

  3. Converts pyruvate to acetyl CoA

  4. Regulates the Krebs Cycle


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

ATP synthase is an enzyme that generates ATP through oxidative phosphorylation, using the energy released from the flow of protons across a membrane.

Which of the following is a key regulatory enzyme in the Krebs Cycle?

  1. Citrate synthase

  2. Isocitrate dehydrogenase

  3. α-Ketoglutarate dehydrogenase

  4. Malate dehydrogenase


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Citrate synthase is a key regulatory enzyme in the Krebs Cycle, controlling the rate of acetyl CoA entry into the cycle.
