Question

examine the diagram of aerobic cellular respiration below and use it to help you answer the following question: question: based on the diagram above, which of the following statements is false? \bigcirc the oxygen we breathe (o₂) is used only in the last step of aerobic cellular respiration \bigcirc all steps of aerobic cellular respiration occur inside the mitochondria \bigcirc the products of the krebs cycle are reactants to the electron transport chain \bigcirc the 2atp made when converting glucose to pyruvate are used to power other steps of aerobic cellular respiration

Explanation:

1. Analyze Option 1: Oxygen is used in the Electron Transport Chain (last step of aerobic respiration), so this statement is true.
2. Analyze Option 2: Glycolysis (first step of aerobic respiration) occurs in the cytoplasm, not inside the mitochondria. So the statement "All steps of aerobic cellular respiration occur inside the mitochondria" is false.
3. Analyze Option 3: Products of Kreb's Cycle (like NADH, FADH₂) are used as reactants in Electron Transport Chain, so this is true.
4. Analyze Option 4: The 2 ATP from glycolysis (converting glucose to pyruvate) is used in other steps, so this is true.

Answer:

B. All steps of aerobic cellular respiration occur inside the mitochondria
