What is the Calvin Cycle?

Back

The Calvin Cycle is a series of biochemical reactions that occur in the stroma of chloroplasts during photosynthesis, where carbon dioxide is converted into glucose using ATP and NADPH.

Who discovered the steps involved in the building of sugars during photosynthesis?

Back

Melvin Calvin discovered the steps involved in the building of sugars during photosynthesis, which are now known as the Calvin Cycle.

Front

What is the correct sequence of events in cellular respiration?

Back

The correct sequence of events in cellular respiration is glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and then the electron transport chain.

Front

What causes muscle soreness after strenuous exercise?

Back

Muscle soreness after strenuous exercise is caused by the build-up of lactic acid in the muscles.

Front

What are light-independent reactions also known as?

Back

Light-independent reactions are also known as the Calvin Cycle.

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, using carbon dioxide and water.

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 role does ATP play in cellular processes?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is a pigment found in chloroplasts that absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, which is essential for photosynthesis.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen to produce energy, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen and produces less energy.
