FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Back
The Calvin Cycle is a series of biochemical reactions that take place in the stroma of chloroplasts in photosynthetic organisms, where carbon dioxide is converted into glucose using ATP and NADPH.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the role of NADP in photosynthesis?
Back
NADP (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) acts as an electron carrier in photosynthesis, accepting electrons during the light-dependent reactions and becoming NADPH, which is then used in the Calvin Cycle.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the primary product of the Calvin Cycle?
Back
The primary product of the Calvin Cycle is G3P (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate), which can be used to form glucose and other carbohydrates.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is glycolysis?
Back
Glycolysis is the first step of cellular respiration, where glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP and NADH.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is lactic acid fermentation?
Back
Lactic acid fermentation is an anaerobic process that occurs in animals and some bacteria, where glucose is converted into lactic acid and ATP when oxygen is scarce.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is oxidative phosphorylation?
Back
Oxidative phosphorylation is the final stage of cellular respiration, where ATP is produced using the energy from electrons transferred through the electron transport chain, involving NADH and FADH2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the Kreb's cycle?
Back
The Kreb's cycle, also known as the citric acid cycle, is a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to generate energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA.
