Where in an ATP molecule is energy stored?
The Calvin Cycle begins with hydrogen, electrons and energy. It produces what?
What is PGAL
DNA base pairs are C-__ and A-___. Once in RNA the pairs become C-G and A-U.
What is C and T
Diploid cells have a _________ pair of chromosomes
What is homologous
Humans have how many chromosomes in their diploid cells?
The light-dependent phase of photosynthesis begins with light and energy and produces what?
What is oxygen, hydrogen, electron and energy
What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic cellular respiration?
The two types of cellular respiration include aerobic which requires oxygen and is performed by most cells in plants, animals and humans. The other type of respiration is anaerobic which which does not require oxygen and is performed by bacteria and fungi
What is the difference between alcohol and lactic acid fermentation?
The two forms of fermentation include alcoholic fermentation which requires hydrogen, electrons and pyruvic acid to produce carbon dioxide and alcohol. Lactic acid fermentation requires hydrogen, electrons and pyruvic acid to produce lactic acid.
