    • Digestion only
    • Creating matter
  6. How does aerobic respiration compare to photosynthesis in terms of energy?

    • Respiration releases energy
    • Photosynthesis creates heat
    • Photosynthesis releases energy
    • Respiration stores light

    • Liver
    • Lungs
    • Stomach
    • Kidneys
  8. Which gas would a student expect to rise in a sealed container of germinating seeds?

    • Nitrogen
    • Hydrogen
    • Carbon dioxide
    • Oxygen rising steadily
  9. Which cell structure is the main site where oxygen is used for aerobic respiration?

    • Nucleus
    • Ribosomes
    • Mitochondria
    • Chloroplasts
  10. What is the primary role of oxygen in aerobic respiration?

    • Protein building
    • Glucose creation
    • Full glucose breakdown
    • Energy storage
  11. Why does aerobic respiration release more energy per glucose than anaerobic respiration?

    • Water creation
    • Complete breakdown
    • Enzyme absence
    • Light absorption
  12. Which substance is the energy source in aerobic respiration?

    • Oxygen
    • Carbon dioxide

    • Glucose
  13. A plant respires in the dark. Which gas does it take in?

    • Carbon dioxide
    • Water vapour
    • Nitrogen
    • Oxygen
  14. What is the main purpose of breathing in aerobic organisms?

    • Digesting food
    • Gas exchange
    • Filtering water
    • Pumping blood
  15. In the word equation for aerobic respiration, what does energy represent?

    • Light absorber
    • Catalyst enzyme
    • Reactant source
    • Reaction product
  16. Which organ takes oxygen into the blood in humans?

    • Lungs
    • Stomach
    • Liver
    • Kidneys
  17. What form does the carbon from glucose take when released during aerobic respiration?

    • Carbon dioxide
    • Water vapour
    • Ethanol
    • Lactic acid
  18. Which factor increases the rate of aerobic respiration in active muscles?

    • Decreased blood flow
    • Reduced glucose
    • Lower temperature
    • Increased oxygen supply
  19. How does carbon dioxide travel from respiring cells to the lungs?

    • Carried by platelets
    • Attached to fat
    • Inside white cells
    • Dissolved in blood
  20. Why is light absent from the aerobic respiration word summary?

    • Respiration releases energy
    • Oxygen blocks light
    • Darkness is required
    • Light stops enzymes
