Cell Structure
Which organelle is not present in prokaryotic cells?
What is mitochondria
This pigment in chloroplasts absorbs light energy during photosynthesis.
What is chlorophyll
This molecule stores immediate energy for cell functions.
What is ATP
This set of photosynthesis reactions uses light energy to produce ATP and NADPH.
What is light-dependent reactions
An organism capable of photosynthesis is known as an
Autotroph
This network of protein fibers gives eukaryotic cells their shape and support.
What is cytoskeleton
Which molecule is released during the light-dependent reactions in chloroplasts?
Among lipids, glycogen, and glucose, this energy molecule stores the least amount of energy.
What is ATP
This process splits one glucose molecule into two pyruvate molecules as the first step of cellular respiration.
What is glycolysis
This macromolecule group is the body's primary source of quick energy.
What is Carbohydrates
This type of cell lacks a defined nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
What is a prokaryote
This enzyme produces ATP during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
What is ATP synthase
This process uses energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient.
What is active transport
This process converts ADP into ATP during the electron transport chain in mitochondria.
What is oxidative phosphorylation
This group of macromolecules is essential for building cell membranes.
What is Lipids
This organelle packages and sorts proteins for secretion after they are made in the rough ER.
What is the Golgi apparatus
This process converts CO2 into sugars during the Calvin cycle.
What is carbon fixation
What is the overall reaction of cellular respiration involving glucose and oxygen?
What is: Glucose + O2 → CO2 + H2O + ATP
This cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle, produces electron carriers for ATP production.
What is the citric acid cycle
This theory states that all living things are composed of cells and that the cell is the basic unit of life.
Cell theory
Glycolysis takes place in this part of the cell.
What is cytoplasm
During the light-dependent reactions, this molecule captures electrons and stores energy.
What is NADPH
What are the folds in the inner mitochondrial membrane that increase the surface area for ATP production called?
What is Cristae
This process generates a much greater amount of ATP compared to fermentation.
What is cellular respiration
This theory explains how eukaryotic cells evolved from prokaryotic cells.
Endosymbiont theory
