Unit 3 Cellular Energetics

Front

What is the optimum pH of the enzyme based on the provided graph?

Back

The optimum pH of the enzyme is 6.6.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

The products of photosynthesis are the reactants of cellular respiration.

Front

What does the term 'anaerobic' mean?

Back

Anaerobic means that oxygen is not needed.

Front

What waste product is produced by the Citric Acid (Krebs) cycle?

Back

The waste product produced is carbon dioxide.

Front

What is the correct equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO₂ + 6H₂O → 6O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆

Front

Define cellular respiration.

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis is the first step in cellular respiration that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP.

Front

What is ATP and why is it important?

Back

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