AP Biology: Unit 3 Review (CED)

Front

Where does the Calvin cycle take place?

Back

The Calvin cycle takes place in the stroma of chloroplasts.

Front

What increases the rate of a biochemical reaction?

Back

Increasing the amount of enzyme present in the reaction increases the rate.

Front

What is required to maintain order in cellular processes?

Back

Energy input must exceed energy loss to maintain order in cellular processes.

Front

Which process does NOT require oxygen?

Back

Glycolysis is the process that does not require oxygen.

Front

What is the difference between competitive and noncompetitive inhibitors?

Back

Competitive inhibitors bind to the active site of an enzyme, while noncompetitive inhibitors bind to a different site.

Front

What is the role of enzymes in biochemical reactions?

Back

Enzymes act as catalysts to speed up biochemical reactions by lowering the activation energy.

Front

What is the function of the thylakoid membrane?

Back

The thylakoid membrane is where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur.

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.

Front

What is oxidative phosphorylation?

Back

Oxidative phosphorylation is the process by which ATP is formed as electrons are transferred through the electron transport chain.

Front

What is the significance of ATP in cellular processes?

Back

ATP serves as the primary energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular functions.
