Cellular Energy

Front

What is the principal chemical compound that living things use to store energy?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the principal chemical compound used by living organisms to store and transfer energy.

Front

What are the two products of the light reactions that are needed for the Calvin cycle?

Back

NADPH and ATP are the two products of the light reactions that are essential for the Calvin cycle.

Front

Which part of aerobic respiration produces the most ATP?

Back

The Electron Transport Chain produces the most ATP during aerobic respiration.

Front

Which of the following is NOT a product of the light reactions?

Back

Glucose (Sugar) is NOT a product of the light reactions; it is produced in the Calvin cycle.

Front

Which organelle is responsible for releasing energy in eukaryotic cells?

Back

Mitochondria are the organelles responsible for energy release in eukaryotic cells.

Front

What is the role of ATP in cellular processes?

Back

ATP serves as the primary energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes.

Front

What is the process of 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.

Front

What are the main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

The main stages of cellular respiration are Glycolysis, the Krebs Cycle, and the Electron Transport Chain.

Front

What is the function of NADPH in photosynthesis?

Back

NADPH is used as a reducing agent in the Calvin cycle to help convert carbon dioxide into glucose.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis is the first step of cellular respiration that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP.
