Photosynthesis
This process converts light energy into chemical energy stored in sugar molecules.
What is Photosynthesis?
The overall products of cellular respiration are CO₂, H₂O, and this molecule.
What is ATP?
Fermentation occurs when this molecule is not available for the electron transport chain.
What is Oxygen?
The sequence of growth and division in a cell’s life is called this.
What is the Cell cycle?
A cell ignores all checkpoints and keeps dividing — it’s transformed into this scary kind of cell.
What is a Cancer cell?
Photosynthesis occurs in these organelles found in plant cells.
What is the choloroplast?
Glycolysis splits one molecule of glucose into two of these.
What is Pyruvate?
The type of fermentation that produces lactic acid in muscle cells.
What is Lactic acid fermentation?
This phase of interphase is when DNA replication occurs.
What is S phase?
Frankenstein’s monster loves sparks — these shocks represent electrons zipping down this chain.
What is the ETC?
The two main stages of photosynthesis.
What are light reactions and the Calvin cycle?
The stepwise harvesting of electrons from glucose occurs through these reactions.
What are redox reactions?
The purpose of fermentation is to regenerate this molecule so glycolysis can continue.
What is NAD+?
The G₁, S, and G₂ stages together make up this part of the cycle.
What is interphase?
During a full moon, your chromosomes line up like ghostly dancers at the cell’s equator — what phase are they haunting?
What is Metaphase?
The Calvin cycle takes place in this part of the chloroplast.
What is the Stroma?
Each turn of the Krebs cycle produces 3 of these high-energy electron carriers.
What is NADH?
The type of fermentation used by yeast to make bread and alcoholic beverages.
What is alcoholic fermentation?
The stages of mitosis from beggining to end.
What is Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase (followed by cytokinesis)
The Invisible Reaper of the Cell Cycle chops DNA if something goes wrong — who is it?
What is Apoptosis?
The Calvin cycle requires these two products of the light reactions to function.
What is ATP and NADPH?
The process of using a proton gradient to produce ATP is called this.
What is Chemiosmosis?
The conversion of pyruvate to ethanol releases this gas.
What is Carbon Dioxide (CO2)?
These organelles organize the spindle microtubules in animal cells.
What are centrosomes?
Legend says the mitochondria whisper: “Our power comes from invisible spirits that flow downhill through the membrane…”
What do these “spirits” represent, and what do they make as they fall?
What are protons (H⁺ ions) flowing down their electrochemical gradient through ATP synthase, producing ATP?
