AP Biology - Cellular Respiration+Photosynthesis

Front

What is the process of ADP being phosphorylated?

Back

ADP is forming into ATP.

Front

What do C4 plants do with CO2 during the day?

Back

C4 plants store CO2 in a separate cell from its photosynthetic cell.

Front

Define cellular respiration.

Back

Cellular respiration is the catabolism of glucose to transfer energy to ATP.

Front

What occurs during photorespiration?

Back

Photorespiration involves the breakdown of sugar when CO2 levels are low.

Front

What type of plants store CO2 at night as an acid in a vacuole?

Back

CAM plants.

Front

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

To convert biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP.

Front

What is the role of ATP in cellular processes?

Back

ATP serves as the primary energy currency of the cell.

Front

What is the difference between C3 and C4 plants in terms of CO2 fixation?

Back

C3 plants fix CO2 directly, while C4 plants store CO2 in a separate cell.

Front

What is the significance of NADH in cellular respiration?

Back

NADH is an electron carrier that transfers energy to the electron transport chain.

Front

What is the main byproduct of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen gas (O2).
