Cells Part 1 Review

Front

What is the active site of an enzyme?

Back

The active site is the region on an enzyme where substrate molecules bind and undergo a chemical reaction.

Front

What happens during stage II of photosynthesis (the Calvin Cycle)?

Back

It uses energy from ATP and NADPH, plus CO2 to produce glucose.

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in a cell?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria.

Front

What gas is produced by plants during photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen is produced by plants during photosynthesis.

Front

What type of respiration requires mitochondria?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires mitochondria.

Front

What is the role of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy.

Front

Define substrate in the context of enzyme activity.

Back

A substrate is a molecule upon which an enzyme acts.

Front

What is the main product of the Calvin Cycle?

Back

The main product of the Calvin Cycle is glucose.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not.

Front

What is ATP and why is it important?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes.
