What is the primary biological process that removes CO2 from the atmosphere?

Photosynthesis
100
What bond must be broken to release energy from ATP?
The bond between the last two phosphates
100
About how many molecules of ATP are made in cellular respiration?
36 ATP
100
Photosynthesis occurs in which organelle?
Chloroplast
100
Respiration with oxygen is called _______ while respiration without oxygen is called ______.
Aerobic, Anaerobic
200

How do living organisms (both plants and animals) release carbon back into the atmosphere as a gas?

Cellular Respiration

200
Where is the energy stored in an ATP molecule?
In the chemical bonds
200

In which organelle does cellular respiration take place?

Mitochondria

200

The liquid part of the chloroplast where the light independent reaction occurs is called the...?

Stroma

200
What are the products of alcoholic fermentation?
CO2 + Ethyl Alcohol + 2 ATP
300

What role do decomposers (like fungi and bacteria) play in the carbon cycle?

They break down dead organic matter and waste. This process releases stored carbon back into the soil as nutrients and into the atmosphere as CO2 or methane (CH4)

300

Does photosynthesis or cellular respiration make ATP?

Cellular Respiration

300

Name the reactants and products of cellular respiration

Reactants: Oxygen and Glucose

Products: Carbon Dioxide, Water and 36 ATP

300

The products of photosynthesis are the...

a. Products of cellular respiration.

b. Products of glycolysis.

c. Reactants of cellular respiration.

d. Reactants of fermentation.

c. Reactants of cellular respiration.

300
What are the products of lactic acid fermentation?
Lactic Acid + 2 ATP
400

How does the burning of fossil fuels (combustion) disrupt the natural carbon cycle?

It rapidly releases carbon that was safely trapped deep underground for millions of years (a long-term geological sink) into the atmosphere, causing an imbalance.

400
Write the adenosine triphosphate reaction
ATP <--> ADP + P + Energy
400

Cellular Respiration has three steps: glycolysis, electron transport chain and the Kreb's cycle. Place these three steps in the correct order they occur.

Glycolysis -> Krebs Cycle -> Electron Transport

400

Name the reactants and products of PS

Reactants: Carbon dioxide, Water and Sunlight

Products: Oxygen and Glucose

400

What organism is likely to do alcoholic fermentation? 

A. Plants 

B. Parasites 

C. Yeast 

D. Animals

C. Yeast

What is a "carbon sink" and what are the earth's two largest carbon sinks?

A carbon sink is any reservoir that absorbs more carbon than it releases. The oceans and forests/soil are the primary sinks.

500
Which step of the cellular respiration reaction yields the most ATP?
The third step, electron transport chain
500
Write the full equation for CR (formulas)
C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H20 + 36 ATP
500
What are the two steps/reactions of photosynthesis and where do they occur?
Light Reaction (thylakoids) and Dark Reaction (stroma)
500
Briefly explain how the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration rely on one another.
Plants make glucose and oxygen, animals use the glucose and oxygen in CR and give off carbon dioxide that the plants need.
