Cellular respiration and photosynthesis Flashcards
Fatty acid chains can be oxidized and enter cellular respiration as:
G3P, Glucose, Pyruvate or Acetyl-CoA?
Acetyl-CoA.
Which of the following processes gives the highest ATP yield after oxidative phosphorylation?
Glycolysis, Pyruvate oxidation, Citric acid cycle or Fermentation?
Citric acid cycle .
Which of the following cannot enter cellular respiration?
Monosaccharides, Nucleotides, Fatty acids, Aminos acids?
Nucleotides.
Which of the following is not reduced during cellular respiration:
Glucose, NAD+, FAD+, O2?
Glucose. It is oxidized.
NAD+ → NADH
FAD+ → FADH2
O2 → H2O
What factors decrease the theoretical yield in ATP of cellular respiration in eukaryotes?
- The inner mitochondrial membrane is somewhat leaky to protons.
- The secondary active transport of pyruvate into the mitochondrial matrix.
- The active transport of NADH into the mitochondrial matrix

10 protons.
4 from complex 1
4 from complex 3
2 from complex 4
How many CO2 molecules are needed for 1 G3P to leave the Calvin cycle?
3 CO2 molecules
Which if the following gives its electrons to P680?
Pigments of the antenna of photosystem 1, Pigments of the antenna of photosystem 2, P700 or H20?
H2O.
Which of the following is not a molecule that participates in photosynthesis:
Ferredoxin, ADP, NADH or Rubisco?
