Cell Energetics

Front

What is the function of the electron transport chain?

Back

The electron transport chain moves electrons from photosystem II to photosystem I, providing energy for ATP synthesis.

Front

Where does cellular respiration end?

Back

Cellular respiration ends at the mitochondria.

Front

What occurs in the thylakoid membrane during photosynthesis?

Back

Photosystems and the electron transport chain convert captured light energy into chemical energy compounds of NADPH and ATP.

Front

What is the correct equation for photosynthesis?

Back

CO₂ + light + H₂O → O₂ + Sugar.

Front

What is an atmospheric product of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen is an atmospheric product of photosynthesis.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

The two main stages of photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily in the blue and red wavelengths, to drive the photosynthesis process.

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.

Front

What is the Calvin cycle?

Back

The Calvin cycle is a series of biochemical reactions that occur in the stroma of chloroplasts, converting carbon dioxide into glucose.
