47

A

starts from the sun, goes into chloroplasts and into thylakoids, converted into ATP, then used to make sugar

48
Q

what is used to make glucose during the calvin cycle

A

carbon and atp

49
Q

how do light waves work

A

color reflected is the color you see and every other color is absorbed

50
Q

how do we express energy stored in food

A

calories

51
Q

which is the most calorie dense macromolecule

A

lipids

52
Q

what is cellular respiration

A

process where an organism uses oxygen and food to make energy

53
Q

where does cellular respiration occur

A

mitochondria

54
Q

what does the mitochondria do

A

produces atp

55
Q

what is the equation for cellular respiration

A

C6H12O6 + 6CO2 –> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy

56
Q

what is fermentation

A

process that occurs when an organism doesn’t have enough oxygen but still needs to produce atp

57
Q

what are biproducts of fermentation

A

lactic acid, alcohol during alcoholic fermentation

58
Q

how many ATP does fermentation make

A

2

59
Q

what does aerobic mean

A

needs oxygen

60
Q

what does anaerobic mean

A

doesn’t need oxygen, takes place without oxygen

61
Q

is fermentation aerobic or anaerobic

A

anaerobic

62
Q

is cellular respiration aerobic or anaerobic

A

aerobic

63
Q

how many ATP molecules does cellular respiration make

A

38

64
Q

what is the order of steps during cellular respiration

A
  1. glycolysis
  2. Kreb’s cycle
  3. ETC chain
65
Q

where does glycolysis occur

A

cytoplasm of cell

66
Q

what happens during glycolysis

A

glucose is split into two pyruvate molecules

67

72
Q

how many ATP does the krebs cycle produce

A

2

73
Q

A

along inner membrane of mitochondria

74
Q

what powers the ETC?

77
Q

how many ATP does the electron transport chain produce?

A

34

78
Q

what are the steps of the electron transport chain?

A
  1. electron carriers power protein pumps
  2. protein pumps pump H+ (protons) across membrane into intermembrane
  3. a concentration gradient is created
  4. e- flow through pumps and attach to O2 creating H2O
  5. Chemiosmosis
79
Q

how does chemiosmosis work?

A

protons want to go back across membrane into matrix since there are less protons on that side, but they can only flow through ATP synthase, so the ATP synthase harnesses the energy of flowing protons and makes ATP

80
Q

what does fermentation do?

A

convert pyruvate into alcohol or lactic acid (repeats glycolysis over and over to make atp)
converts NADH back into NAD+
makes 2 ATP
