Stages of CR
100

This organelle is where photosynthesis takes place.

Chloroplast

100

This stage occurs in the thylakoids and uses sunlight and water.

Light-Dependent Reactions

100

ATP stands for this.

Adenosine Triphosphate

100

This process converts glucose into ATP.

cellular respiration

100

Glycolysis occurs in the __________ and produces _____ATP molecules.

Cytoplasm; 2

200

This pigment absorbs light energy for photosynthesis.

chlorophyll

200

This stage occurs in the stroma and makes glucose. 

Calvin Cycle

200

ATP is made of ribose, 3 phosphates, and _____________. 

Adenine

200

The reactants of cellular respiration.

glucose and oxygen

200

This stage occurs in the mitochondrial matrix and produces 2 ATP.

Krebs Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle)

300

The main energy-storing molecule produced during photosynthesis. 

glucose

300

The two energy carriers produced in the Light-Dependent Reactions.

ATP and NADPH

300

Energy is released when this bond in ATP is broken.

the bond between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate

300

What are the 3 steps of cellular respiration in sequential order?

1. Glycolysis

2. Krebs Cycle

3. Electron Transport Chain

300

This stage occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane and produces up to 34 ATP.

Electron Transport Chain

400

In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water are rearranged to produce this gas as a byproduct. 

Oxygen

400

The Light-Dependent Reactions split this molecule to release oxygen.

Water

400

What is the process called when a phosphate is added to an ADP molecule?

Phosphorylation

400

The balanced equation for cellular respiration. Run up and write it on the board. 

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O 

400
Which stage of cellular respiration is anaerobic?

Glycolysis

500

What is the balanced equation of photosynthesis? Run up to the front of the room and write it on the board. 

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Light Energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

500

The Calvin Cycle uses CO₂ and these molecules to build glucose.

ATP and NADPH

500

Name a cellular process that we learned about this unit that does not require ATP to occur. Hint: it happens passively.

(Your answer cannot contain any of the words used in this prompt)

Diffusion

500

In a closed system, how many ATP molecules does one molecule of glucose generate in yeast? 

2 ATP


500

If there was a mutation that prevents pyruvate from entering the mitochondria, which is the only stages of cellular respiration that would be unaffected... and why?

1. Glycolysis

2. It occurs in the cytoplasm and creates pyruvate
