Biology Concepts

Front

Difference between autotrophs and heterotrophs

Back

Autotrophs create their own food, while heterotrophs rely on consuming other organisms.

Front

Effect of placing a green plant in a dark room for 48 hours

Back

Light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis would be most directly affected.

Front

Reason ATP is considered the 'energy currency' of the cell

Back

It temporarily stores and transfers usable energy for cellular processes.

Front

Molecule reduced in light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis

Back

Front

Effect of blocking ATP synthase in a plant cell

Back

ATP formation during the light-dependent reactions would be immediately affected.

Front

Primary purpose of the Calvin Cycle

Back

To convert CO₂ into glucose using ATP and NADPH.

Front

Plants produce oxygen during photosynthesis because oxygen is a waste product released when water molecules are split in the light-dependent reactions.

Back

Oxygen is a waste product released when water molecules are split in the light-dependent reactions.

Front

The relationship between light-dependent reactions and the Calvin Cycle is that the light-dependent reactions provide ATP and NADPH for the Calvin Cycle.

Back

The light-dependent reactions provide ATP and NADPH for the Calvin Cycle.

Front

If a plant's supply of NADPH is disrupted, the step of photosynthesis most directly affected is reducing carbon dioxide into glucose during the Calvin Cycle.

Back

Reducing carbon dioxide into glucose during the Calvin Cycle.

Front

A heterotroph indirectly depends on photosynthesis because it consumes autotrophs or organisms that rely on autotrophs for energy.

Back

It consumes autotrophs or organisms that rely on autotrophs for energy.
