3412
Which two compounds produced during the Krebs cycle donate electrons to the electron transport chain?
NADH and FADH2
Which of the following organelles is the site of cellular respiration?
The mitochondrion
Pyruvate oxidation is a transition reaction that directly links which of the following two metabolic pathways?
Glycolysis and the Krebs cycle
Which of the following steps occurs in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
Glycolysis
Photosystems are located in which of the following cellular structures?
thylakoids
Which colors of visible light does chlorophyll absorb the most?
blue and red
Operation of the Calvin-Benson cycle requires a constant supply of………?
C, H, O, and energy
Which of the following processes occurs during non-cyclic photophosphorylation and releases oxygen?
Photolysis
What is outpart of the thylakiod membrane?
Outermembrane
What are the role of the photosystems?
To produce evergy in the stroma which will be later used to manufacture surgers.
Light independent reactions are also referred to as_________________ ?
Dark reactions or the calvin cycle
What does the Calvin cycle convert ?
Csrbon dioxide into a 3-carbon suger molecule that is used to make glucose for plants.
The__________and______________required in the calvin cycle are provided by light reactions of photosynthesis.
ATP and NADPH
Explain the steps of the Calvin cycle….
The initial step is to attach CO2 to a sugar called ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP), which is done by an enzyme called RuBisCO. This results in two molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate (3PGA), which receive a phosphate from ATP and electrons from NADPH (provided by the light reactions) to form glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P or PGAL). Some G3P is then used to produce carbohydrates such as glucose, which are important for plant growth. The rest of the G3P is converted back to RuBP by ATP so it can accept more carbon dioxide.
Cyclic photophosphorylation also occurs during__________?
light reactions, and produces ATP (through the action of chemiosmosis), but not NADPH.
In photosynthesis, energy from the sun is required to form….
ATP and split water.
The light-independent reactions of photosynthesis require the presence of…
carbon dioxide and NADPH
The energy that is contained in a grapefruit originates from…
ATP
The molecule that is recycled in the light-independent reactions is…
ribulose bisphosphate
Which of the following pigments is most important in the process of Photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll a
In which part of the plant does Photosynthesis mostly occur?
leaves
Light trapping units composed of pigments within the thylakoid membranes
Photosystems
The least and most soluble pigments are….
chlorophyll B
The conversion of CO2 and H2O into organic compounds using energy from light is called?
Photosynthesis
During which of the following phases of cellular respiration does substrate-level phosphorylation take
place?
glycolysis
The end products of glycolysis should include…..
acetyl CoA
When an organism such as a yeast lives by fermentation, it converts the pyruvate from glycolysis into a different compound, such as alcohol. Why doesn’t it secrete the pyruvate directly?
The conversion is needed to regenerate the molecules needed for glycolysis.
The oxygen released into the air as a product of photosynthesis comes from…
water
