AP Biology Unit 3 Review

Front

What is the net gain of ATP from glycolysis?

Back

2

Front

What does phosphorylation of ADP result in?

Back

The addition of a phosphate group to ADP, forming ATP and increasing the free energy of the molecule.

Front

What molecule cannot be produced if the proton (H+) pump in the thylakoid is non-functional?

Back

ATP.

Front

What environmental factors can lead to enzyme denaturation?

Back

Extreme increases in temperature and changes in pH.

Front

What are the reactants used by plants during the light reaction?

Back

Water, NADP+, and ADP.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

A metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP and NADH.

Front

What is the role of NADP+ in photosynthesis?

Back

NADP+ acts as an electron carrier, accepting electrons during the light reactions to form NADPH.

Front

How does temperature affect enzyme activity?

Back

Enzymes have an optimal temperature range; extreme temperatures can lead to denaturation and loss of function.

Front

What is the significance of ATP in cellular processes?

Back

ATP serves as the primary energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various biochemical reactions.

Front

What is the light reaction in photosynthesis?

Back

The process that converts solar energy into chemical energy, producing ATP and NADPH while splitting water.
