Worksheet Overview & Skills Covered

Core academic competencies and curriculum alignment

This Biology Science worksheet provides structured practice on 10.42 Glycolysis and Fermentation. Students are guided through targeted exercises that build foundational understanding, computational accuracy, and critical thinking skills.

Glycolysis and Fermentation: Students distinguish glycolysis and fermentation, identify when fermentation occurs, and compare lactic acid and alcoholic fermentation outputs. Rigor range: standard concept checks through honors/Pre-AP/AP-ready energy pathway modeling and graph interpretation.

Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 10.42 Glycolysis and Fermentation skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Which evidence would best support the claim that fermentation maintains glycolysis in low oxygen?

AUnder high oxygen, cells with no glucose make ethanol rapidly.

BUnder low oxygen, cells with fermentation blocked produce more NAD+ and more ATP than controls.

CUnder low oxygen, cells with an active fermentation enzyme keep a higher NAD+ level and glycolysis rate than cells with the enzyme blocked.

DUnder any condition, DNA amount changes exactly with lactate concentration.

Solution & Explanation:The best evidence compares active versus blocked fermentation under low oxygen and measures the predicted mechanism: NAD+ regeneration and continued glycolysis.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Which revision would best improve a model of glycolysis and fermentation for the crosscutting concept of energy and matter?

AShow glucose-derived carbon atoms conserved in products and show NAD+ recycling that supports ATP transfer in glycolysis.

BRemove all molecules and show only the word energy with no products.

CShow carbon atoms disappearing as ATP is created from nothing.

DPlace oxygen as a required input for both fermentation branches.

Solution & Explanation:A strong model should track matter, such as carbon atoms in products, and energy transfer, such as ATP production in glycolysis supported by NAD+ recycling.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Use the compartment diagram to identify the feature shared by glycolysis, lactic acid fermentation, and alcoholic fermentation in eukaryotic cells.

AThey all occur only in the mitochondrial matrix.

BThey all require chloroplast membranes.

CThey all happen inside the nucleus before DNA replication.

DThey are cytosolic pathways rather than mitochondrial matrix pathways.

Solution & Explanation:Glycolysis and both fermentation routes occur in the cytosol. This distinguishes them from mitochondrial aerobic pathways such as the Krebs cycle.
