Honors Bio Cellular Energy & Cell Structures

Front

What is phosphorylation?

Back

Phosphorylation is the process of adding an inorganic phosphate group to a molecule, often to activate or deactivate enzymes and other proteins.

Front

What process do microorganisms use to generate ATP without mitochondria?

Back

Fermentation is the process used by microorganisms to generate ATP in the absence of mitochondria.

Front

Where in the chloroplast is glucose made after light energy is captured?

Back

Glucose is made in the stroma of the chloroplast after light energy is captured.

Front

What type of cell does not have a nucleus?

Back

Bacteria are cells that do not have a nucleus.

Front

What does '2' represent in the context of photosynthesis?

Back

In the context of photosynthesis, '2' represents water (H2O).

Front

What is the role of ATP in cellular processes?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) serves as the primary energy carrier in cells, providing energy for various biochemical reactions.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the function of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the pigment that captures light energy, which is essential for the process of photosynthesis.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

The two main stages of photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle).

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen to produce ATP, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen.
