Unit 4: Cellular Processes - Equations

Question 1

Photosynthesis

Answer 1

Sunlight + Water + CO2 yields Glucose + O2

Question 2

Light Reactions

Answer 2

Sunlight + Water + NADP + ADP yields O2 + NADPH + ATP

Question 3

Dark Reaction

Answer 3

CO2 + NADPH + ATP yields Glucose + ADP + NADP+

Question 4

Photolysis

Answer 4

Water yields Oxygen Gas + H+ Protons + Electrons

Question 5

Aerobic Respiration

Answer 5

Glucose + Oxygen yields CO2 + H2O + ATP

Question 6

Glycolysis

Answer 6

Glucose yields 2 Pyruvate (2 ADP and 2 NAD+ are converted to 2 ATP and 2 NADH along the way)

Question 7

Citric Acid Cycle

Answer 7

(Acetyl CoA) + (NAD+) + (FAD) + (ADP) yields (CO2) + (NADH) + (FADH2) + (ATP)

Question 8

Oxidative Phosphorylation

Answer 8

(NADH) + (FADH2) + (O2) + (ADP) yields (NAD+) + (FAD) + (H2O) + (ATP)

Question 9

Electron acceptors

Answer 9

NAD+, NADP+, FAD

Question 10

Electron donors

Answer 10

NADH, NADPH, FADH2
