Test for Module 5 Flashcards
the conversion of pyruvic acid to acetyl CoA
Link reaction
Where in the cell does glycolysis occur?
cytoplasm
Describe two differences between photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide whereas cellular respiration releases carbon dioxide; photosynthesis uses water whereas cellular respiration releases water
A water molecule is split during which process?
light reaction of photosynthesis
What are the chemical products of the light reactions?
ATP and NADPH
a series of light independent reactions
calvin cycle
Glycolysis is an ___ process.
anaerobic
Grana are found in which part of the chloroplast?
stroma
The production of lactic acid or ethyl alcohol occurs during which process?
anaerobic respiration also called fermentation
electron carriers used in cellular respiration
What is the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain of cellular respiration?
oxygen
What are the types of fermentation?
lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation
What energy conversion occurs through photosynthesis?
light energy into the chemical energy
Name two reactants of photosynthesis.
water and carbon dioxide
a process of cellular respiration that takes place in the inner membrane of mitochondria
electron transport chain
Describe two similarities between photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
they both contain electron transport chains that produce ATP and they both occur inside specialized organelles designed for their functions.
a process of cellular respiration that takes place in the cytoplasm
glycolysis
The ___ produces the most ATP.
electron transport chain
NADH is the electron carrier molecule for ___.
cellular respiration
During cellular respiration, energy from the breakdown of food is tored in
ATP
NADPH is the electron carrier molecule for ___
photosynthesis
Describe what three things can happen to light energy as the sun shines on plant cells
light energy can be absorbed by pigments and used in the photosynthesis reactions; it can be transmitted; in can be reflected
Under what conditions is fermentation carried out?
when there is not enough oxygen present for cellular respiration to occur
ATP synthase depends on the facilitated diffusion of ___ to make ATP.
hydrogen ions
