Bio Unit 3

Front

What process is found in both aerobic and anaerobic metabolism?

Back

Glycolysis is the process that occurs in both aerobic and anaerobic metabolism, breaking down glucose to produce energy.

Front

What are carotenoids?

Back

Carotenoids are pigments found in plants that are red, orange, or yellow in color.

Front

Which bond of the ATP molecule is broken to release energy?

Back

The bond labeled 'A' in the ATP molecule is broken to release energy.

Front

What process does not occur in aerobic conditions?

Back

Fermentation does not occur in aerobic conditions; it is an anaerobic process.

Front

Do the light reactions of Photosynthesis require ATP?

Back

False. The light reactions of photosynthesis produce ATP, they do not require it.

Front

What is the Kreb's cycle?

Back

The Kreb's cycle, also known as the citric acid cycle, is a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to generate energy.

Front

What is oxidative phosphorylation?

Back

Oxidative phosphorylation is the process by which ATP is formed as electrons are transferred to oxygen in the electron transport chain.

Front

What is the role of glycolysis in cellular respiration?

Back

Glycolysis is the first step in cellular respiration, converting glucose into pyruvate and producing a small amount of ATP.

Front

What are the end products of fermentation?

Back

The end products of fermentation can include ethanol and carbon dioxide or lactic acid, depending on the type of fermentation.

Front

What is the significance of ATP in cellular processes?

Back

ATP serves as the primary energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various biochemical reactions.
