Bio Honors Respiration and Photosynthesis Review

Front

What supplies the energy for the electron transport chain in photosynthesis?

Back

The electrons from chlorophyll.

Front

How does the concentration of CO2 affect photosynthesis?

Back

The higher the CO2, the greater the rate, up to a point, then it levels off.

Front

Which process in eukaryotic cells proceeds normally whether oxygen (O2) is present or absent?

Back

Glycolysis.

Front

What is the primary purpose of breathing in oxygen?

Back

To facilitate aerobic respiration.

Front

What provides the energy for the Calvin cycle?

Back

ATP.

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 the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, which is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle.

Front

What is aerobic respiration?

Back

A process that requires oxygen to convert glucose into energy (ATP), producing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.

Front

What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

A process that occurs without oxygen, resulting in the partial breakdown of glucose and producing less energy compared to aerobic respiration.
