In cell biology, the primary difference between anaerobic and aerobic respiration is that aerobic respiration requires:

71% Answer Correctly

water

mitochondria

oxygen

sugar


Solution

Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.


3

In cell biology, where does DNA replication take place?

64% Answer Correctly

cytoplasm

mitochondria

Golgi apparatus

nucleus


Solution

The cell nucleus contains the genetic material of the cell and is where DNA replication takes place.


4

__________ is caused by a lack of iron in the diet.

81% Answer Correctly

5

Atoms of an element whose atoms can vary in the number of neutrons in their nucleus are called which of the following?

64% Answer Correctly

products

reactants

ions

isotopes


Solution

The atomic mass of an element listed in the Periodic Table represents the average mass of a single atom of that element and is measured in atomic mass units (amu). This number is an average as some elements have isotopes with atoms that vary in their number of neturons and, therefore, differ in weight.
