AP.Bio Unit 3 Review Cellular Energetics

Front

In which compartment of the plant cell do the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis take place?

Back

Stroma

Front

What is the main purpose of the light reactions in photosynthesis?

Back

To provide the energy and electrons for the Calvin cycle.

Front

Which factor does not influence the action of enzymes?

Back

Relative humidity.

Front

How do enzymes increase the rate of a chemical reaction?

Back

By reducing the activation energy.

Front

During aerobic respiration, what is the sequence of electron travel?

Back

Glucose → NADH → ETC → Oxygen.

Front

What is the role of thylakoids in photosynthesis?

Back

Thylakoids are the site of the light-dependent reactions.

Front

Define photosynthesis.

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is the Calvin cycle?

Back

The Calvin cycle is a series of biochemical reactions that take place in the stroma of chloroplasts during photosynthesis.

Front

What is ATP and its role in cellular processes?

Back

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

Front

Explain the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration.

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen.
