AP Biology: Unit 3 Review (CED)

Front

What are the main electron carriers in the electron transport chain during cellular respiration?

Back

NADH and FADH2 are the main electron carriers in the electron transport chain.

Front

Where does the Calvin cycle occur in a plant cell?

Back

The Calvin cycle takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast.

Front

What is the location of oxidative phosphorylation in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxidative phosphorylation occurs in the mitochondrial cristae.

Front

What is the active site of an enzyme?

Back

The active site is the region on an enzyme where the substrate binds.

Front

Where does glycolysis take place in the cell?

Back

Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol.

Front

What is the role of NADH in cellular respiration?

Back

NADH serves as an electron carrier, transporting electrons to the electron transport chain.

Front

What is the function of FADH2 in cellular respiration?

Back

FADH2 acts as an electron carrier, contributing to the electron transport chain.

Front

What is the significance of the stroma in photosynthesis?

Back

The stroma is the site of the Calvin cycle, where carbon fixation occurs.

Front

What is the purpose of oxidative phosphorylation?

Back

Oxidative phosphorylation generates ATP through the electron transport chain and chemiosmosis.

Front

What is the difference between the active site and allosteric site of an enzyme?

Back

The active site is where the substrate binds, while the allosteric site is where regulatory molecules can bind to modulate enzyme activity.
