False
Fill in the blank: The process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy is called __________.
photosynthesis
What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?
Light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle
Which organelle is responsible for photosynthesis?
Chloroplast
What is produced as a byproduct of photosynthesis?
Oxygen
Which molecule is the main electron carrier in cellular respiration?
NADH
What is the role of ATP synthase in cellular metabolism?
It synthesizes ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate.

C) Photosystem II
What is the end product of glycolysis?
Pyruvate
True or False: The Calvin cycle occurs in the thylakoid membranes.
False
Fill in the blank: The light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place in the __________.
thylakoid membranes
What is the primary function of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?
To absorb light energy
What is the energy source for the Calvin cycle?
ATP and NADPH produced in the light-dependent reactions
Which gas is consumed during photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
What is the main purpose of the Krebs cycle?
To produce electron carriers for the electron transport chain
Multiple Choice: Which process generates the most ATP? A) Glycolysis B) Krebs Cycle C) Electron Transport Chain D) Fermentation
C) Electron Transport Chain
What are the three main stages of cellular respiration?
Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, Electron Transport Chain
True or False: Fermentation occurs in the absence of oxygen.
True
Fill in the blank: The main purpose of cellular respiration is to convert __________ into usable energy.
glucose
What is the role of oxygen in aerobic respiration?
It acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain.
Which process do yeast cells use to produce energy in anaerobic conditions?
Alcoholic fermentation
What is the significance of the electron transport chain in cellular metabolism?
It generates a proton gradient to produce ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.
What is the role of RuBisCO in photosynthesis?
It catalyzes the fixation of carbon dioxide in the Calvin cycle.
