Photosynthesis/CR Test Review

Front

What gas is given off by plants during photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen is released as a byproduct of photosynthesis.

Front

What is the major product of the Calvin Cycle?

Back

The major product of the Calvin Cycle is glucose.

Front

Which molecule acts as an electron carrier in cellular respiration?

Back

NAD+ (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) acts as an electron carrier.

Front

What process is primarily responsible for muscle soreness after intense exercise?

Back

Lactic acid fermentation is responsible for muscle soreness.

Front

What factors affect the rate of photosynthesis?

Back

The rate of photosynthesis is affected by water, temperature, sunlight, and carbon dioxide levels.

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 role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and converts it into chemical energy.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

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

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 equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2.
