Quiz on Energy in Living Systems

What is the primary energy carrier in cells?

• ATP

• ADP

• Glucose

• NADPH

Where does cellular respiration primarily take place?

• Chloroplasts

• Cytoplasm and mitochondria

• Cell membrane

• Nucleus

What is the process of converting sunlight into chemical energy called?

• Cellular respiration

• Photosynthesis

• Fermentation

• Metabolism

Which organelle is responsible for photosynthesis?

• Chloroplast

• Ribosome

• Mitochondria

• Endoplasmic reticulum

What is produced during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?

• Oxygen

• Carbon dioxide

• NADH

• Glucose

What is the chemical formula for photosynthesis?

• 6CO2 + 6H2O + Light = C6H12O6 + 6O2

• 6CO2 + 12H2O + Light = C6H12O6 + 6H2O

• C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6CO2 + 6H2O

• C6H12O6 + 6H2O = 6CO2 + 12H2O

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

• To absorb carbon dioxide

• To capture light energy

• To produce glucose

• To release oxygen

What happens to the energy from ATP when it is used?

• It is transferred to a target molecule

• It is completely lost as heat

• It is converted back to glucose

• It is stored in the nucleus
