Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Review - HONORS

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis is the metabolic process that converts glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP and NADH. It occurs in the cytoplasm of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

Front

Where does the Electron Transport Chain (ETC) occur?

Back

The Electron Transport Chain occurs in the inner membrane of mitochondria.

Front

What is the role of the palisade mesophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

The palisade mesophyll is a layer of cells in the leaf that contains chloroplasts and is primarily responsible for photosynthesis, capturing sunlight.

Front

What is the primary source of energy for photosynthesis?

Back

The primary source of energy for photosynthesis is sunlight.

Front

What is the correct equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is a pigment that absorbs sunlight, primarily in the blue and red wavelengths, and plays a crucial role in converting solar energy into chemical energy.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What are the three main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

The three main stages of cellular respiration are glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the Electron Transport Chain.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and produces more ATP, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen and produces less ATP.
