General Biology 1 - Grade 11 STEM Topics/Competencies

The ATP-ADP Cycle involves which of the following processes?

• Conversion of ATP to ADP and vice versa to store and release energy

• Direct absorption of sunlight by ADP

• Production of ATP without any energy release

• Breakdown of glucose without ATP involvement

Photosynthesis is best described as:

• The process by which plants make their own food using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water.

• The process by which animals convert food into energy.

• The process by which plants absorb minerals from the soil.

• The process by which plants release oxygen at night.

The Light Dependent Reaction in photosynthesis is:

• the process where light energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH

• the process where glucose is broken down to release energy

• the process where carbon dioxide is fixed into glucose

• the process where water is absorbed by roots

The Light Independent Reaction/Calvin Cycle is best described as:

• A process that uses ATP and NADPH to convert CO2 into glucose.

• A reaction that splits water to release oxygen.

• A cycle that occurs only in the presence of light.

• A process that produces ATP and NADPH from sunlight.

Cellular respiration is best described as:

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

• The process by which plants make their own food using sunlight.

• The breakdown of food in the stomach to release energy.

• The movement of water across a cell membrane.

Glycolysis is:

• the process of breaking down glucose to produce energy

• the synthesis of proteins from amino acids

• the storage of fats in adipose tissue

• the replication of DNA in the nucleus

Pyruvate Oxidation is best described as:

• The conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA, producing NADH and CO₂.

• The breakdown of glucose into pyruvate.

• The conversion of acetyl-CoA to pyruvate.

• The production of ATP from pyruvate.

The Krebs Cycle/Citric Acid Cycle is a series of chemical reactions that occurs in which part of the cell?

• Mitochondria

• Nucleus

• Cytoplasm

• Ribosome

The Electron Transport Chain and Chemiosmosis are processes involved in:

• the production of ATP during cellular respiration

• the breakdown of glucose in glycolysis

• the replication of DNA in the nucleus

• the synthesis of proteins in ribosomes

What is the function of ATP in living things?

• stores genetic information

• provides energy for cells

• provides structure in the nucleus

• stores energy
