How does an enzyme's shape relate to its function?

Back

An enzyme's shape determines its function, as it must fit the substrate to catalyze a reaction.

Front

What are the main products of the light reactions in photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen, NADPH, and ATP.

Front

What is glycolysis and where does it occur?

Back

Glycolysis is the process of breaking down glucose into pyruvate, occurring in the cytoplasm.

Front

What is the role of the Krebs Cycle in cellular respiration?

Back

The Krebs Cycle generates electron carriers (NADH and FADH2) and ATP through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA.

Front

What is the function of the Electron Transport Chain (ETC)?

Back

The ETC uses electrons from NADH and FADH2 to create a proton gradient that drives ATP synthesis.

What is the significance of NADPH in photosynthesis?

Back

NADPH is used as a reducing agent in the Calvin cycle to help convert CO2 into glucose.

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy (glucose), while cellular respiration converts glucose into usable energy (ATP).
