, Solution 2024/2025
Pepper
Cellular organelles to generate energy
What is the difference between genotype and phenotype? ANS✔✔ Genotype
- the actual information printed in the DNA

compounds? ANS✔✔ ATP - aerobic respiration
What is the difference between autotrophs and heterotrophs? ANS✔✔
Autotrophs can convert inorganic compounds into organic compounds - only
plants able to do this
Heterotrophs must consume organic compounds such as plants or animals
that eat plants to create ATP

compounds in aerobic cellular respiration? ANS✔✔ 38 ATP
What element is needed for the electron transport chain to work properly?
ANS✔✔ Oxygen
What purpose does oxygen serve in aerobic cellular respiration? ANS✔✔
Oxygen increases the efficiency of ATP production
How many ATP does anaerobic cellular respiration create? What are other
byproducts? ANS✔✔ 2 ATP
Byproducts are 2 molecules of lactate

ANS✔✔ Some bacteria, liver cells, muscle cells
What are two types of anaerobic cellular respiration? ANS✔✔ Lactic Acid
Fermentation
Alcoholic Fermentation
What type of organisms use alcoholic fermentation? ANS✔✔ Yeast and some
bacteria
