bio Flashcards
What function does ATP carry out in living things?
Used to capture and transfer energy
The diagram below shows the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration and the organelles in which they occur.
Carbon dioxide and water released by cellular respiration are used in photosynthesis
Which of the following are some of the reactants of photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide and water
Based on your knowledge and the diagram below, what gas is produced in the red area labeled as D?
oxygen
Based on your knowledge and the diagram below, what molecule enters the chloroplast in the blue area labeled as B?
water
The conversion of different molecules is common in all forms of cellular energy. One of these processes in photosynthesis that involves taking in carbon dioxide gas and making sugar is called
Light independent reactions/calvin cycle
The stage of photosynthesis that involves breaking apart water and creating oxygen gas is called
Light dependent reaction/ photosynthesis
If a plant’s chloroplast is damaged and the stroma is not able to carry out its function, what molecule would not be made / produced?
sugar
Which gas is removed from the atmosphere of the plant and used during the process of the Light independent reactions/Calvin cycle of photosynthesis?
carbon dioxide
Glycolysis is important because it is responsible for creating a small amount of energy before which of the following processes?
Alcohol fermentation, aerobic cell respiration, lactic acid fermentation
How are cellular respiration and photosynthesis related, in terms of energy?
The energy captured in photosynthesis is used to power cellular respiration
In which way are photosynthesis and cellular respiration different?
Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide, while cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide
Which statement describes how photosynthesis and cellular respiration are interrelated?
Carbon dioxide and water released by cellular respiration are used in photosynthesis
A potted plant is placed inside a clear, sealed vacuum container with no gas inside the container at all. It also has water pumped into it on a regular basis. The container is placed in the sun and the plant’s growth is monitored. Which statement best describes what will most likely happen to the plant over time?
The plant will die because it does not have carbon dioxide for photosynthesis
Michelle has four aquatic plants of the same size and the same species. She submerges the plants in a separate beaker filled with 200 ml of water. She then sets each beaker under a different intensity of light. Michelle observes that, of the four plants, the plant in the beaker under the most intense light gives off the most gas bubbles in a 20 minute period. Which of the following statements best explains Michelle’s observations?
Photosynthesis occurs at the highest rate under the most intense light
