What is an autotroph? 

also called a producer, they get energy from nonliving sources

100

What are the two reactants + energy needed to start photosynthesis? 

Carbon Dioxide, water and solar energy 

100

How many phosphates are in ATP? 

three

100

What are the reactants and products for Cellular Respiration? 

Reactants= glucose and oxygen 

Products= ATP, CO2 and water

100

What is a trophic level? 

the levels of nourishment in a food chain

200

What is a heterotroph? 

get energy from living or once-living organisms 

200

What are the products of photosynthesis? 

glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen 

200

What phosphate bond has the most energy to be used? 

Third phosphate bond is broken for the most energy in the body 

200

What are two main locations in the mitochondria? Be specific. 

Inner membrane= folded membranes in the center of the mitochondria 

Matrix= fluid-like substance that fills the space 

200

What are the trends for a biomass and numbers pyramid? 

biomass= total mass of living organic matter at a trophic level decreases as the trophic level increases 

numbers= number of organisms at a trophic level, it decreases since energy decreases as you go up the pyramid, fewer organisms can be supported

300

What is chemosynthesis? 

organisms that get energy from chemicals, like those in a sulfur-rich salt marsh

300

What are the three main parts of the chloroplast? Describe them. 

stroma= fluid like filling 

Grana= pancake like stacks of THYLAKOID membrane 

300

What is aerobic respiration? 

respiration that occurs with oxygen 

300

Glycolysis: 

Where does it occur? 

What is being used? 

What is being made? 

glycolysis is the breaking down of glucose into two pyruvate molecules it occurs in the cytoplasm and creates 2 ATP total and 2 NADH 

300

What is broken down first for energy in the body? 

Carbohydrates

400

What are four types of consumers? 

Herbivores, Carnivores, Omnivores, Detrivores (decomposers)

400

Light reactions: 

Where do they occur? 

What is used? 

What is made? 

They are the reactions that capture sunlight using chlorophyll in the thylakoid membrane. 

They use water and an ETC to absorb energy from the sunlight 

They produce oxygen, ATP, NADPH and Hydrogen 

400

What is anaerobic respiration? 

respiration that occurs without oxygen, fermentation

400

Krebs Cycle: 

Where does it occur? 

What is being used? 

What is being made? 

Krebs Cycle occurs in the matrix of the mitochondria 

Uses pyruvate molecules 

Makes 2 ATP, NADH, FADH2 and releases CO2 as a product

400

Do plants undergo both photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Yes photosynthesis makes the sugar and cellular respiration uses the sugar, plants undergo both 

500

What is the rule of ten?  

as energy flows from organism to organism, it is used for metabolism and/or converted to heat 

because of this, the next organism on the chain only receives 10 percent of the energy obtained at the previous level 

500
Light- Independent Reactions: 


Where do they occur? 

What do they use? 

What do they make? 

Light-independent reactions are the Calvin Cycle that occurs in the stroma. 

Uses NADPH, H+ and CO2 

Makes Glucose 

500

What are the two types of fermentation? Give an example of an organism that does each. 

alcoholic fermentation= yeast 

lactic acid fermentation= humans

500

ETC: 

Where does it occur? 

What is being used? 

What is being made? 

Occurs in the inner membrane of the mitochondria 


Uses NADH, FADH2 

Makes: ATP

500

What is the breakdown of ATP production in Aerobic Respiration? (three main parts and each of their ATP productions). 

2 ATP from Glycolysis 

2 ATP from Krebs Cycle 

34 ATP from the ETC
