AP Bio Unit 3

Front

What bonds must be broken to form an ADP molecule from ATP?

Back

The bonds between the second and third phosphate groups (C and D).

Front

What is the process that occurs in both aerobic and anaerobic metabolism?

Back

Glycolysis.

Front

Why is the hydrolysis of ATP important for cellular function?

Back

It releases energy that can be used to power cellular processes.

Front

Which of the following is NOT a product of the light reactions in photosynthesis: ATP, NADPH, or Glucose?

Back

Glucose.

Front

What is the role of the H+ concentration gradient in cellular respiration?

Back

It is used to generate ATP.

Front

What is ATP and why is it important for cells?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the primary energy carrier in cells, providing energy for various cellular processes.

Front

What are the main products of the light reactions in photosynthesis?

Back

ATP and NADPH.

Front

What is the significance of glycolysis in cellular metabolism?

Back

Glycolysis is the first step in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration, breaking down glucose to produce energy.

Front

How does the electron transport chain contribute to ATP production?

Back

It creates a proton gradient that drives ATP synthesis through chemiosmosis.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not.
