Honors Bio Cellular Energy & Cell Structures

Front

What is the stroma in a chloroplast?

Back

The stroma is the fluid-filled space inside the chloroplast where the Calvin cycle occurs, and it contains enzymes, DNA, and ribosomes.

Front

What are the main products of cellular respiration?

Back

The main products of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide, water, and ATP.

Front

Which process generates 2 ATP molecules?

Back

Glycolysis and fermentation both generate 2 ATP molecules.

Front

What is the role of water in photosynthesis?

Back

Water is broken down in the light-dependent reactions to release oxygen.

Front

Where does glycolysis occur in the cell?

Back

Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.

Front

What is ATP and why is it important?

Back

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

Front

What is the electron transport chain?

Back

The electron transport chain is a series of protein complexes in the inner mitochondrial membrane that generates ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.

Front

What is the Krebs cycle?

Back

The Krebs cycle, also known as the citric acid cycle, is a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to generate energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA.

Front

What is fermentation?

Back

Fermentation is an anaerobic process that allows cells to produce energy without oxygen, resulting in products like lactic acid or ethanol.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.
