Unit 4 - Photosynthesis and Respiration Exam Review

Front

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

Back

NADPH and ATP

Front

What enzyme is used at the start of the Calvin Cycle?

Back

Rubisco

Front

What is the process of energy conversion that takes place in the mitochondria?

Back

The energy in the bonds of glucose molecules is transferred to the phosphate bonds in ATP.

Front

Which type of cells go through the process of Cellular Respiration?

Back

All eukaryotic cells

Front

What is the function of NADPH and FADH2?

Back

It is an electron carrier.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the blue and red wavelengths, to drive the photosynthesis process.

Front

What are the main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.
