Bio Honors Respiration and Photosynthesis Review

Front

What gives leaves their green color?

Back

Leaves look green because they contain a molecule named chlorophyll.

Front

Where does Glycolysis occur in the cell?

Back

Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm.

Front

What are the end products of Glycolysis?

Back

The end products of Glycolysis are 2 molecules of pyruvate (pyruvic acid).

Front

What process splits water into hydrogen and oxygen atoms?

Back

The process that splits water (H2O) into hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) atoms is the light dependent stage of photosynthesis.

Front

What is the correct equation for cellular respiration?

Back

The correct equation for cellular respiration is 6O2 + C6H12O6 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy.

Front

What is the primary function of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

The primary function of chlorophyll in photosynthesis is to absorb light energy, primarily from the sun.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

The two main stages of photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle).

Front

What is produced during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?

Back

During the light-dependent reactions, ATP and NADPH are produced, along with oxygen as a byproduct.

Front

What is the role of ATP in cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and produces more energy, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen and produces less energy.
