EOC Review - Topic #2 Energy Transformations

Front

What is fermentation?

Back

A metabolic process that allows glycolysis to continue making ATP when oxygen is unavailable for cellular respiration.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the pigment in chloroplasts that captures the sun's energy needed for photosynthesis.

Front

Which types of cells perform cellular respiration?

Back

All cells, including plant cells, animal cells, and bacterial cells, carry out cellular respiration.

Front

What is density-dependent competition?

Back

A type of competition where the survival of one species affects the population of another species, as seen when a lion and a cheetah attempt to occupy the same niche.

Front

What type of growth is represented by a logistic growth curve?

Back

Logistic growth is characterized by a population that grows rapidly at first and then levels off as it reaches carrying capacity.

Front

Define cellular respiration.

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of the electron transport chain?

Back

The electron transport chain is a series of protein complexes that transfer electrons and pump protons to create a proton gradient for ATP synthesis.

Front

What is ATP and why is it important?

Back

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

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.
