AP Biology: Unit 3 Review (CED)

Front

Where does the electron transport chain take place?

Back

The electron transport chain occurs in the mitochondria, chloroplasts, and prokaryotic plasma membrane.

Front

Which process does NOT require oxygen?

Back

Glycolysis is the only process listed that does not require oxygen.

Front

What are the electron carriers for the electron transport chain in cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

Which structure of a protein is unaffected by denaturation?

Back

The primary structure of a protein remains unaffected by denaturation.

Front

What will increase the rate of a reaction?

Back

Increasing the amount of enzyme will increase the rate of the reaction.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate, producing ATP and NADH.

Front

What is oxidative phosphorylation?

Back

Oxidative phosphorylation is the process of ATP production that occurs in the mitochondria, using the electron transport chain and chemiosmosis.

Front

What is the Krebs Cycle?

Back

The Krebs Cycle, also known as the citric acid cycle, is a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to generate energy.

Front

What is denaturation in proteins?

Back

Denaturation is the process where proteins lose their structure due to external stress, affecting their function.

Front

What is the role of enzymes in biochemical reactions?

Back

Enzymes act as catalysts to speed up biochemical reactions by lowering the activation energy.
