Answer the following statements true (T) or false (F)

1. Each citric acid cycle will produce two carbon dioxide molecules and one ATP molecule.
2. The electron transport chain is the first component of aerobic respiration.
3. Clostridium botulinum, the bacteria that causes botulism, is an obligate anaerobe, meaning it requires oxygen to survive.
4. Triglycerides store about the same amount of energy as carbohydrates.
5. Autotrophic eukaryotes, such as plants, convert sunlight into carbohydrates in organelles called chlorophylls.


1. True
This statement is true. Each citric acid cycle will produce two carbon dioxide molecules and one ATP molecule.
2. False
This statement is false. The electron transport chain is the last component of aerobic respiration.
3. False
This statement is false. Clostridium botulinum, the bacteria that causes botulism, is an obligate
anaerobe, meaning oxygen acts as a poison and will kill it.
4. False
This statement is false. Triglycerides store about twice as much energy as carbohydrates.
5. False
This statement is false. Autotrophic eukaryotes, such as plants, convert sunlight into carbohydrates in organelles called chloroplasts.

The major opposition to the Extraterrestrial Hypothesis is

A. not enough organic carbon molecules could have been transported to the Earth's surface by comets and asteroids. B. most organic carbon molecules, including nucleic acids and amino acids, would have been destroyed by the intense heating that occurs when large bodies fall through the Earth's atmosphere. C. not enough comets and asteroids hit the Earth to deliver organic carbon molecules to the surface. D. most of the organic carbon molecules would have fallen into the seas, helping life form in the water but not on the land. E. without oxygen in the atmosphere the organic carbons that did fall would have been rapidly reduced to inorganic carbon compounds.
