Bioenergetics Basics

Front

Where does aerobic respiration begin and end in the cell?

Back

Aerobic respiration begins in the cytoplasm and ends in the mitochondria.

Front

What gas is released by plants during photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen.

Front

In which organelle does cellular respiration occur?

Back

Mitochondrion.

Front

What is the primary organelle involved in photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplast.

Front

What is the main purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

To make glucose.

Front

What are the two main processes of bioenergetics in plants?

Back

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, which is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose.

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not.

Front

What is produced during anaerobic respiration in yeast?

Back

Ethanol and carbon dioxide.
