Glycolysis and Krebs cycle
Glycolysis occurs in which part of the cell?
What is the cytoplasm?
The body's ability to regulate its internal environment to maintain a stable and balanced state is known as this.
What is Homeostasis
What molecule serves as the primary source of carbon in the Calvin cycle?
What is carbon dioxide (CO2)?
This is the primary energy-carrying molecule produced as a result of the electron transport chain.
What is ATP
In the light reactions, this molecule is synthesized as a result of the proton gradient established across the thylakoid membrane.
What is ATP
What is the net ATP production per glucose molecule during glycolysis?
What is 2 ATP molecules?
This hormone is responsible for lowering blood sugar levels by promoting the uptake of glucose by cells.
Which enzyme catalyzes the fixation of carbon dioxide by combining it with ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP) in the Calvin cycle?
What is ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO)?
The electron transport chain takes place in this.
what is the mitochondria
During the light reactions, this molecule donates electrons to the photosystem II complex.
What is water
Name the three-carbon molecule that is the end product of glycolysis.
What is pyruvate?
These minerals play a key role in nerve function, muscle contraction, and fluid balance, and are regulated by the body's homeostatic mechanisms.
What is the first stable product formed during the Calvin cycle after carbon dioxide fixation?
What is 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA)?
This is the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain during cellular respiration.
What is oxygen
This pigment is primarily responsible for capturing light energy in photosynthetic organism.
In the Krebs cycle, acetyl-CoA combines with oxaloacetate to form what molecule?
What is citrate?
In cold conditions, the body does this involuntary response to generate heat and maintain core temperature.
What is shivering
In the Calvin cycle, ATP and NADPH produced during the light reactions are used to reduce 3-phosphoglycerate to which carbohydrate molecule?
What is glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P)?
In cellular respiration, this process occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane and is responsible for the majority of ATP production.
What is electron transport chain
Light reactions occur in this part of photosynthesis
what is thylakoid membrane
During the Krebs cycle, which molecule is regenerated at the end of each cycle to keep the cycle going?
What is oxaloacetate?
During physical exertion, this happens to the respiratory rate to ensure the body receives an increased supply of oxygen.
What is increased raspatory rate
In addition to producing carbohydrates, what other important molecule is generated as a result of the Calvin cycle?
What is triose phosphate (TP) or glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P)?
This molecule donates electrons to the beginning of the electron transport chain in cellular respiration.
What is NADH
In photosynthesis, this process converts light energy into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.
