1.

The main organic product formed during photosynthesis, used as an energy source by the plant, is (a)   .

2.

A student places a plant in a sealed container with CO₂ and water. After several hours under light, tests show that sugar levels in the plant have increased. What is the main product responsible for this?

a)

Oxygen

b)

Water

c)

Glucose

d)

Carbon dioxide

3.

During aerobic respiration, pyruvate enters the mitochondrion and is converted into acetyl-CoA, releasing CO₂ and NADH.

Where does this reaction occur?

a)

Cytoplasm

b)

Matrix of mitochondria

c)

Inner mitochondrial membrane

d)

Cristae

4.

Sort the processes based on where they occur in the mitochondrion:

a)

Cytoplasm

1.

Glycolysis

b)

Mitochondrial matrix

2.

Pyruvate oxidation

c)

Mitochondrial matrix

3.

Krebs Cycle

d)

Inner mitochondrial membrane

4.

Electron transport chain

5.

Which of the following correctly compares fermentation and aerobic respiration?

a)

Both processes involve the electron transport chain

b)

 Fermentation uses NADH to reduce pyruvate, not to fuel the ETC 

c)

Fermentation produces more ATP than aerobic respiration

d)

NADH is regenerated into NAD⁺ by donating electrons to oxygen in fermentation

6.

A yeast cell is placed in an anaerobic environment. Glycolysis produces pyruvate and NADH. Without oxygen available, what happens to the NADH?

a)

 It donates electrons to the ETC in the inner membrane

b)

It is stored for later use

c)

It donates electrons to pyruvate to regenerate NAD⁺

d)

It is broken down into ATP

7.

The products of the Krebs cycle include

a)

ATP

b)

NADH

c)

FADH2

d)

CO2

8.

Which of the following correctly explains why C₄ plants are more efficient than C₃ plants in hot, dry conditions?

a)

Rubisco in C₄ plants binds CO₂ more effectively

b)

PEP carboxylase in C₄ plants has a higher affinity for CO₂ and does not bind O₂ 

c)

C₄ plants only use light-dependent reactions

d)

PEP carboxylase fixes O₂ in bundle sheath cells

9.

In hot, dry climates, C₄ plants use (a)   instead of rubisco to fix CO₂ in mesophyll cells, minimizing photorespiration.

10.

A poison prevents protons from accumulating in the intermembrane space of mitochondria. What would most likely happen as a result?

a)

Electrons stop flowing in the ETC

b)

ATP synthase will stop producing ATP

c)

 NADH will stop donating electrons

d)

Oxygen will no longer be needed

11.

Chemiosmosis occurs as protons pump/transport from the mitochondrial matrix into the intermembrane space.

a)

True

b)

False

12.

During chemiosmosis, protons move from the ​ (a)  

into the ​ (b)   through ATP synthase.

Choose from the below words
intermembrane space
matrix of mitochondria
cytoplasm
stroma
inner membrane
13.

Which of the following is true about glycolysis?

a)

 It occurs only when oxygen is present

b)

It takes place inside the mitochondria

c)

It requires oxygen to produce pyruvate

d)

It can occur without oxygen

14.

Why do plants use cyclic photophosphorylation instead of non-cyclic sometimes?

a)

To make NADPH only

b)

To balance the ATP:NADPH ratio by producing ATP only

c)

To release oxygen when water is not available

d)

To split water molecules

15.

During the Calvin cycle, the enzyme Rubisco catalyzes the fixation of carbon dioxide to RuBP, producing [ (a)   ] as the first stable product.

16.

What happens to the concentration of 3-phosphoglycerate in the Calvin cycle during the light-independent reactions?

a)

It decreases as it is converted into glucose.

b)

It increases due to the attachment of CO₂ to RuBP

c)

 It remains unchanged as it is recycled.

d)

It decreases due to the formation of RuBP.

17.

A researcher isolates thylakoid membranes from plant chloroplasts and exposes them to light energy while measuring oxygen levels. After a few minutes, they observe oxygen is being produced, but no ATP or NADPH is formed.

Further analysis reveals that the electron transport chain is blocked before Photosystem I (PSI).

Based on the passage, which of the following is the MOST likely cause of this issue?

a)

Water is not being split at PSII, preventing electron flow.

b)

NADP⁺ is not available, preventing ATP synthesis.

c)

Plastoquinone (PQ) is blocked, preventing electrons from reaching PSI.

d)

The proton gradient is too strong, stopping ATP synthase activity.

18.
