19
Q

how many processes of photosynthesis are there?
and they are the…?

A
  1. 2 processes
  2. dependent reaction and independent reaction (or the calvin cycle)
20
Q

occurs in the thykaloid membrane of the chloroplast

dependent reaction or independent reaction (the calvin cycle)

A

dependent reaction

21
Q

sunlight is required for it to happen. Oxygen is released as waste products during this stage

dependent reaction or independent reaction (the calvin cycle)

A

dependent reaction

22
Q

occurs in the stroma of the chloroplasts

dependent reaction or independent reaction (the calvin cycle)

A

independent reaction / calvin cycle

23
Q

can happen with or without sunlight. formation of glucose from carbon dioxide happens in this stage

dependent reaction or independent reaction (the calvin cycle)

A

independent cycle / calvin cycle

24
Q

energy stored in food must be converted to a form of energy that the body recognizes, in the form of (?)

A

ATP - adenosine triphosphate

25
Q

energy molecules responsible for many biological processes and synthesis of other biomolecules

A

ATP - adenosine triphosphate

26
Q

refers to the complex process by which energy in the form of atp is released from food molecules

A

cell respiration

27
Q

complex process that can occur wiith or without oxygen

A

cell respiration

28
Q

how many types of cell respiration, and what are they

A
  1. 2
  2. aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration
29
Q

types of respiration

uses oxygen

A

aerobic respiration

30
Q

types of respiration

absence of oxygen

A

anaerobic respiration

31
Q
  1. autotrophs (photosynthesis) via (?)
  2. heterotrophs (cell respiration) via (?)
A
  1. chloroplast
  2. mitochondria
32
Q

the end goal of cell respiration is to create many atps from readily available glucose in the cell. true or false

A

true

33
Q

occurs in the cytosol (cytoplasm) of the cell

A

glycolysis

34
Q

the process in which glucose is brocken down to produce energy, the transformation yields 2 atp

A

glycolysis

35
Q

occurs in the mitochondria, yields 2 atp

A

krebs cycle

36
Q

uses broken down sugar (acetly-CoA) and produces energy molecules while releasing carbon dioxide

A

krebs cycle

37
Q

occurs in mitochondria, will include other chemical reactions that yield more atp (i.e around 32 atp)

A

electron transport chain

38
Q

special way of breaking down glucose. eukaryotes can also do anaerobic respiration when cells experience low-oxygen conditions

(ex: lactic acid build up in muscles, and alcoholic fermentation)

A

anaerobic respiration

39
Q

lactid acid fermentation occurs in

produced in muscles during rapid exercises when body cant suplly anough oxygen tissues - causes muscle cramps

A

muscle cells
