Cellular Energy Review

Front

What is the primary product of photosynthesis that cannot be directly measured?

Back

Sugar (glucose)

Front

How can a scientist detect an increase in sugar production during photosynthesis?

Back

By measuring the amount of oxygen produced with a timer.

Front

What type of processes require oxygen?

Back

Aerobic processes.

Front

Do both plants and animals use glucose for energy?

Back

True.

Front

In which plant structures is glucose produced?

Back

Chloroplasts.

Front

Which process produces the most ATP molecules per glucose molecule consumed?

Back

Electron Transport Chain.

Front

What is the role of chloroplasts in plants?

Back

Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, where glucose is produced.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, which are used in cellular respiration to produce ATP.

Front

What is ATP and why is it important for cells?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions).
