energy released as electrons flow through the electron transport system.

energy released from substrate-level phosphorylation.

energy released from ATP synthase pumping hydrogen ions against their concentration gradient.

It represents cell processes to minimize photorespiration

It represents an adaptation to cellular respiraiton

CAM plants keep stomata closed in daytime, thus reducing loss of water. They can do this because they

fix CO 2 into organic acids during the night.

fix CO 2 into organic acids in bundle-sheath cells.

fix CO 2 into pyruvate in the mesophyll cells.

The enzyme creatine phosphokinase is known to directly participate in the phosphorylation of ADP to ATP. High levels of ADP would most likely

increase the activity of the enzyme

decrease the activity of the enzyme

over stimulate the enzyme's active site causing denaturation

What do the electrons added to NAD + do?

They go to another pathway for ATP production.

They become part of a fermentation pathway.

They energize the entry of the acetyl group into the citric acid cycle.

An allosteric inhibitor does which of the following?

Binds to an enzyme away from the active site and changes the conformation of the active site, decreasing its affinity for the substrate

Binds to an enzyme away from the active site and changes the conformation of the active site, increasing its affinity for substrate binding

Binds to the active site and blocks it from binding substrate

Binds directly to the active site and mimics the substrate

Energy is stored long-term in the bonds of _____ and used short-term to perform work from a(n) _____ molecule.

an anabolic molecule : catabolic molecule

a catabolic molecule : anabolic molecule

Which of the following properly describes the metabolic role of fermentation in certain cells?

It oxidizes NADH to NAD+ allowing for glycolysis to continue

It is an exergonic reaction that fuels the endergonic phosphorylation of ADP to ATP

It produces FADH molecules used in oxidative phosphorylation

It removes the oxygen to produce an aerobic condition

DNA replication involves unwinding two strands of parent DNA, copying each strand to synthesize complementary strands, and releasing the parent and daughter DNA so now there are two copies of the original strand. Which of the following accurately describes this process?

This is both anabolic and catabolic

This is a metabolic process but is neither anabolic nor catabolic

Which statement is true according to the image?

The red curve shows the same reaction as the black curve when catalyzed by an enzyme

The black curve shows the same reaction as the red curve when catalyzed by an enzyme

More activation energy is required in the reaction represented by the red curve

The two curves above are not related

A reducing chemical reaction ________.

adds an electron to the substrate

reduces the compound to a simpler form

removes a hydrogen atom from the substrate

About this resource

This AP Biology Unit 3 quiz comprehensively covers cellular energetics at the 11th-12th grade level, focusing on the fundamental processes of photosynthesis, cellular respiration, and enzyme function. Students need a solid understanding of biochemical pathways including glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation, as well as the light-dependent and light-independent reactions of photosynthesis. The questions require mastery of enzyme kinetics, competitive and allosteric inhibition, and the role of electron carriers like NAD+ and FADH2. Students must also understand energy coupling through ATP, the differences between anabolic and catabolic pathways, and specialized adaptations like CAM photosynthesis. The complexity of these questions demands strong analytical skills to interpret biochemical processes, compare metabolic pathways, and apply knowledge of cellular compartmentalization and energy transformations. Created by Noah Cabiac, a Biology teacher in US who teaches grade 11-13. This comprehensive review quiz serves multiple instructional purposes throughout the cellular energetics unit, functioning effectively as a formative assessment tool to gauge student understanding before the AP exam. Teachers can deploy this quiz as a chapter review after completing instruction on photosynthesis and cellular respiration, use individual questions as warm-up activities to reinforce previous learning, or assign it as homework to help students identify knowledge gaps. The quiz aligns with AP Biology Learning Objectives 2.4-2.5 covering cellular processes that store and release energy, and Learning Objectives 4.14-4.17 addressing enzyme function and metabolic regulation. The variety of question formats, from basic recall to complex application scenarios, makes this an excellent resource for differentiated instruction and targeted review sessions before unit exams.
