Unit 3 - Cellular Energy Practice & Review

Front

What is the energy that is produced in cell respiration?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, produced during cellular respiration.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

The products of photosynthesis are oxygen and glucose.

Front

What product(s) coming out of photosynthesis can go straight to mitochondria for energy?

Back

Sugar and oxygen are the products of photosynthesis that can be used in cellular respiration.

Front

What is the first step in photosynthesis?

Back

The first step in photosynthesis is the light-dependent reaction, where sunlight is captured to produce energy.

Front

What are the 3 stages of cellular respiration in the correct order?

Back

The three stages of cellular respiration are Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, and Electron Transport Chain.

Front

What is Glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis is the first stage of cellular respiration that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP.

Front

What is the Krebs Cycle?

Back

The Krebs Cycle, also known as the Citric Acid Cycle, is the second stage of cellular respiration that processes pyruvate to produce electron carriers.

Front

What is the Electron Transport Chain?

Back

The Electron Transport Chain is the final stage of cellular respiration where ATP is produced using electrons from NADH and FADH2.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that absorbs sunlight, initiating the process of photosynthesis.
