AP Biology Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the main job of the electron carriers in cellular respiration?

Back

Transport electrons and hydrogen atoms to the electron transport chain.

Front

What is the primary function of the light reactions of photosynthesis?

Back

To produce NADPH and ATP.

Front

What is the function of NADP+?

Back

It is an electron carrier.

Front

Which molecule enters the Kreb's Cycle?

Back

Acetyl CoA.

Front

How is cellular respiration related to photosynthesis?

Back

Respiration is the opposite of photosynthesis.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle).

Front

What is produced during the Kreb's Cycle?

Back

NADH, FADH2, ATP, and carbon dioxide.

Front

What is the role of oxygen in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain.

Front

What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is the primary purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

To convert biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP.
