- Q4Which of the following is a correct definition of metabolism?The respiration reactions that take place inside the cell or the bodyThe respiration reactions that take place inside the liverThe sum of the all the reactions that take place inside the liverThe sum of all the reactions that take place inside a cell or the body30s4.4.2.3
- Q5Which statement about respiration is true?Respiration requires the presence of oxygen.Respiration requires energy.Respiration is an exothermic reaction.The cytoplasm is the site of respiration.30s4.4.2.1

- Q10Which statement is true about anaerobic respiration?Humans produce carbon dioxide during anaerobic respiration.Anaerobic respiration releases more energy than aerobic respiration.Some microorganisms form lactic acid during anaerobic respiration.Plants cannot respire anaerobically.30s4.4.2.1
- Q11Which cell would have the most mitochondria?Liver cellCells in the alveoliCells in xylem tissueRed blood cell30s4.4.2.1
- Q12The table compares some of the characteristics of respiration and photosynthesis. Which row shows the characteristics of both respiration and photosynthesis?CDAB30s4.4.2.1
- Q13Which statement is the best explanation for why you still breathe heavily for some time after vigorous exercise?Carbon dioxide needs to be excreted from the lungs.The diaphragm requires time to slow down the contractions.Aerobic respiration is occurring at a faster rate.Oxygen is required to metabolise lactic acid.30s4.4.2.2
- Q14Which statement is the best explanation for why long-distance runners eat a carbohydrate-rich meal the night before a race?Digestion will not occur during the race.Oxygen in the carbohydrates can be used for aerobic respiration.Increasing carbohydrates will increase the rate of respiration.Excess carbohydrates will be stored as glycogen.30s4.4.2.2
