Question

9. (TCO 7) The reactions of glycolysis occur _____. (Points : 4)        in the cytosol
       in the ER
       within the fluid just inside the inner mitochondrial membrane
       between the inner and outer mitochondrial membrane
       along the outside of the outer mitochondrial membrane Question 10.10. (TCO 7) How is respiration (the act of breathing) different from cellular respiration? (Points : 4)        Respiration produces ATP; cellular respiration is gas exchange.
       Respiration is gas exchange; cellular respiration produces ATP.
       Respiration produces glucose; cellular respiration produces oxygen.
       Respiration uses glucose; cellular respiration produces glucose.
       Respiration produces glucose; cellular respiration is gas exchange. 9. (TCO 7) The reactions of glycolysis occur _____. (Points : 4)        in the cytosol

Explanation / Answer

Question 9: The reactions of glycolysis occur in cytosol of the cell.

In Glycolysis reaction gluocse is converted to pyruvate inside the cytosol of the cell. This reaction is also called the Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas pathway.

Question 10: Ans: Respiration (the act of breathing ) is different from cellular respiration because : Respiration is gas exchange and; Cellular respiration produces ATP

The term respiration means that exchange of gases , ie., inhalation and exhalation where we inhale oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. This process helps in oxidation of blood.

While Cellular respiration is the process by which cells oxidises glucose molecules, water and carbon dioxide to produce ATP molecules which are the energy packets of the cell.
