AP Biology Unit 3 Review Flashcardizz

Front

What are the products of the light reaction needed by the Calvin cycle?

Back

ATP and NADPH are the products of the light reaction that are directly needed by the Calvin cycle in photosynthesis.

Front

What process converts glucose into ATP, NADH, and pyruvate?

Back

Glycolysis is the process that releases energy in glucose to form ATP, NADH, and pyruvate.

Front

What products are made during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?

Back

The light-dependent reactions produce ATP and NADPH.

Front

What are the net products of photosynthesis?

Back

The net products of photosynthesis are glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (6 O2).

Front

Where does the Calvin cycle occur?

Back

The Calvin cycle takes place in the stroma of the chloroplasts.

Front

What is the role of ATP in cellular processes?

Back

ATP serves as the primary energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various biochemical reactions.

Front

What is NADPH and its function in photosynthesis?

Back

NADPH is an electron carrier that provides reducing power for the Calvin cycle, helping to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.

Front

What is the significance of the thylakoid membrane in photosynthesis?

Back

The thylakoid membrane is where the light-dependent reactions occur, capturing light energy and converting it into chemical energy.

Front

What is the main purpose of the Krebs Cycle?

Back

The Krebs Cycle, also known as the citric acid cycle, is responsible for producing electron carriers (NADH and FADH2) and ATP through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA.

Front

What is oxidative phosphorylation?

Back

Oxidative phosphorylation is the process by which ATP is produced using the energy released from the electron transport chain, coupled with the reduction of oxygen to form water.
