Energy
What is ATP?
Energy carrying molecule
(adenosine tri phosphate)
What type of organism undergoes photosynthesis
Autotrophs/producers (plants, algae, cyanobacteria)
What is the goal of cell respiration?
Produce ATP as energy for cell functions from food (glucose).
Where does Aerobic cellular respiration occur?
Mitochondria
What is the step or process that occurs first during fermentation and cellular respiration?
Glycolysis
Where does most of the energy on Earth come from?
The sun
What is the purpose of Photosynthesis?
It is to produce glucose/food for the plant.
Daily Double
What is required for aerobic respiration to happen?
Oxygen
Where is the energy stored in ATP (be specific on where it is)?
In between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate bond.
What are the reactants of photosynthesis?
Water and Carbon dioxide (and sunlight)
Name the molecule that absorbs sunlight energy and where it is located in the Chloroplast?
Chlorophyll and Thylakoid
Which step of cell respiration produces the most ATP?
ETC/Oxidative phosphorylation
What are the products of alcohol fermentation?
Alcohol, CO2, and 2 ATP
What macromolecule do we use first for energy in cell respiration?
Carbohydrates (glucose)
Where does the LDR happen and what is the other name for this reaction?
stroma and the Calvin Cycle
How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?
Opposite reactions-- Products of photosynthesis are reactants of cellular respiration. Products of cellular respiration are reactants of photosynthesis.
Daily Double
During what portion of the cellular respiration cycle is CO2 produced as a product?
What is the Citric Acid Cycle?
What is the product of lactic acid fermentation and in humans what is responsible for making Lactic acid?
Lactic acid and 2 ATP. Any type of physical exercise.
Daily Double
What is Conservation of Energy? Please give the meaning of this law.
What is energy can not be created nor destroyed, it has to be transferred/transformed.
Daily Double
How is the water molecule used in the LDR?
It is split and the H attaches to NADP+ to go into the LDR and the oxygen is released as a product.
Why do plants undergo cellular respiration if they make chemical energy through photosynthesis?
They need to transform the energy stored in glucose into ATP that can be used by the cell.
What carries the electrons into the ETC from Glycolysis and the Krebs Cycle?
NADH and FADH2
Which is preferred- Fermentation or aerobic respiration and why? Please provide actual numbers to support your answer.
Aerobic respiration produces more energy with a max of 38 ATP. Meanwhile, Anaerobic is less efficient and only makes 2 ATP molecules.
