If it's from the book I have.
The photosynthetic pigment in plants that reflects green wavelengths and absorbs red and blue wavelengths is
Chlorophyll
Which metabolic process converts light energy into chemical energy?
photosynthesis
The potential energy within ATP molecules is stored in the ______.
bonds between the phosphates.
The most important result of photosynthesis is the __________.
conversions of light energy to chemical energy.
The Calvin cycle of photosynthesis CANNOT proceed __________.
without the products of the light reaction
The light reactions of photosynthesis take place on the ________ of the ___________.
thylakoid membranes, chloroplast
The part of the plant where most photosynthesis occurs is generally the ___________.
leaves
When split by the process of _______, electrons from molecules of ________replace electrons lost from chlorophyll in Photosystem II and then ________ is released.
photolysis, water, oxygen
The products of the Calvin cycle include what?
sugars
Which of the following statements about the overall reaction for photosynthesis is true?
Carbon dioxide contributes carbon and oxygen to sugar
In the carbon cycle of an ecosystem, inorganic carbon in the atmosphere is converted to organic compounds through _____.
photosynthesis
Where do fermentation and glycolysis take place?
in the cytoplasm of cells
Many scientists think that the rise in global temperatures is linked to increasing atmospheric levels of ____.
carbon dioxide
Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are related because _______.
The products of photosynthesis are the raw products for glucose metabolism and the products of glucose metabolism are the raw products for photosynthesis
What is glycolysis?
The breakdown of glucose to form two molecules of pyretic acid.
Respiration is the process of gas exchange (breathing in oxygen and out carbon dioxide); cellular respiration is the process of_______.
producing ATP via glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the ETC
How is the oxygen that heterotrophs such as fish and salamanders breath in used in cellular respiration?
Oxygen is the final electron acceptor of the ETC
In eukaryotic cells, glycolysis occurs in the ______ and the cellular respiration occurs in the _______.
cytoplasm, mitochondria
The difference in charge (H+ concentration) on the inside and the outside of mitochondrial membranes supplies the energy for _________.
the formation of ATP
Why does death result from any situation that prevents a person from breathing?
Oxygen is needed for cellular respiration, so lack of oxygen prevents ells from making sufficient ATP for essential cellular functions. Cells die as a result, eventually leading to the death of the individual.
Alcoholic fermentation releases ethyl alcohol (ethanol) and _______.
CO2 and ATP
The overall equation for cellular respiration is C6H12O6 ------> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP and heat. The oxygen atoms in the CO2 molecules in this equation are produced from ________ during reactions of the ___________.
C6H12O6, the Krebs cycle
At he bingeing of most recipes for bread, you are instructed to dissolve the yeast in a mixture of sugar and hot water, in some cases with a small amount of flour. Within a short time, this yeast mixture begins to bubble and foam, perhaps to the point of overflowing the container. What is happening? (Note that yeast is an unusual organism that produces ATP via fermentation when sucrose and oxygen are present, even though it could make more ATP via cellular respiration).
The bubbles are carbon dioxide that the yeast produce as they break down the glucose and produce ATP via fermentation.
Why should anyone care about the importance of ATP production?
The multicellular organism requires energy produced to carry out vital functions essential for survival, and understanding glycolysis and cellular respiration permits insight into how different organisms manage their energy needs in different environments.
The difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration is that _____________.
Aerobic requires oxygen, anaerobic does not, and aerobic converts more energy
When you exercise strenuously, your muscle cells will switch to _________.
lactic acid fermentation
Cellular respiration releases most o the energy in this phase of the pathway.
ETC
What is the inner membrane of the mitochondria called?
cristae
Reactions that require energy to form more complex compounds are called _________ reactions.
anabolic
Some of the products of the Krebs cycle include ________.
ATP, NADH, CO2
Aerobic
reactions that require oxygen
Mitochondria
site of cellular respiration
ATP
energy carrier within the cell
Glucose
primary energy source for cells
Autotroph
organism that can make it's own food
Fermentation
process used by yeast and other microorganisms to harvest energy
Anaerobic
reactions that do not require oxygen to break down glucose
Catabolic
reactions that break down molecules to release energy
Heterotroph
organism that cannot make its own food
