Cellular Energy Test Review

Front

What is lactic acid fermentation?

Back

A metabolic process that occurs in the absence of oxygen, where glucose is converted into lactic acid and energy, primarily in muscle cells.

Front

In which cells does lactic acid fermentation primarily take place?

Back

Muscle cells.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

Adenosine triphosphate, the primary energy carrier in cells.

Front

How is energy released from ATP?

Back

By removing the last phosphate group, converting ATP to ADP.

Front

What is ADP?

Back

Adenosine diphosphate, the product of ATP after energy is released.

Front

What is the role of oxygen in aerobic respiration?

Back

Oxygen is required to fully oxidize glucose, allowing for maximum energy production.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen.

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

True or False: Only animals perform photosynthesis.

Back

False. Plants, algae, and some bacteria also perform photosynthesis.

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose.
