CR Week 15 - Final Exam Review

Front

What is the oxidized form of the most common electron carrier needed for glycolysis and the Krebs cycle?

Back

NAD+ is the oxidized form of the most common electron carrier, essential for both glycolysis and the Krebs cycle.

Front

What is a modified form of cellulose found in the exoskeletons of insects and crustaceans?

Back

Chitin is a modified form of cellulose that is found in the exoskeletons of insects and crustaceans.

Front

What is required for the production of NADPH in plants?

Back

The production of NADPH in plants requires electrons originally found in water.

Front

What does the Calvin cycle not require?

Back

The Calvin cycle does not require O2 (oxygen). It requires CO2, ATP, and NADPH.

Front

In an enzyme-catalyzed reaction, what is the reactant called?

Back

In an enzyme-catalyzed reaction, the reactant is called the substrate.

Front

What is the role of NAD+ in cellular respiration?

Back

NAD+ acts as an electron carrier, accepting electrons during glycolysis and the Krebs cycle.

Front

What is chitin and where is it found?

Back

Chitin is a structural polysaccharide found in the exoskeletons of arthropods and the cell walls of fungi.

Front

What is the primary function of the Calvin cycle in photosynthesis?

Back

The primary function of the Calvin cycle is to convert CO2 into glucose using ATP and NADPH.

Front

What is the significance of the proton gradient in photosynthesis?

Back

The proton gradient is crucial for ATP synthesis during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.

Front

What are the products of glycolysis?

Back

The products of glycolysis include 2 pyruvate molecules, 2 ATP, and 2 NADH.
