Unit 5 Summative

Front

What is ADP and how does it relate to ATP?

Back

ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) is a molecule that can be converted into ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) by adding a phosphate group. It is often compared to a battery in need of recharging.

Front

How many ATPs are produced by the electron transport chain?

Back

The electron transport chain produces 34 ATPs.

Front

What is the main site of photosynthesis in a plant?

Back

The main site of photosynthesis in a plant is the leaves.

Front

What are the reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

The reactants of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).

Front

What type of respiration does fermentation involve?

Back

Fermentation involves anaerobic respiration.

Front

Define photosynthesis.

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose, using carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is a pigment found in the chloroplasts of plants that absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, which is essential for photosynthesis.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is aerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration is a process that requires oxygen to convert glucose into energy (ATP), producing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.

Front

What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

Anaerobic respiration is a process that occurs without oxygen, resulting in the partial breakdown of glucose and producing less energy compared to aerobic respiration.
