AP metabolism test review

Front

What is the final step of cellular respiration that produces the most ATP?

Back

Electron transport.

Front

What is the primary function of the Calvin cycle in photosynthesis?

Back

To produce simple sugars from carbon dioxide.

Front

Which cycle is not a part of cellular respiration?

Back

Calvin Cycle.

Front

What is fermentation and how does it relate to oxygen?

Back

Fermentation requires no oxygen and produces a minimal amount of ATP.

Front

Where does electron transport occur in photosynthesis?

Back

In the thylakoid membrane.

Front

What are the three main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

Glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and Electron transport chain.

Front

What is the role of ATP in cellular processes?

Back

ATP serves as the primary energy currency of the cell.

Front

How does the Krebs cycle contribute to cellular respiration?

Back

It generates electron carriers (NADH and FADH2) that are used in the electron transport chain.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not.

Front

What is the significance of the thylakoid membrane in photosynthesis?

Back

It is the site of the light-dependent reactions where ATP and NADPH are produced.
