______ concentration is one of the environmental factors that affect photosynthesis | Carbon dioxide |
Increasing light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis only until all the ________ in chloroplasts are being used | pigments |
Glycolysis breaks down glucose into two _________ | pyruvates |
Glycolysis occurs during the ______ stage of cellular respiration | first |
Glycolysis is an ________ process | anaerobic |
During aerobic respiration, the breakdown of a molecule of glucose yields a net of up to ____ molecules of ATP | 36 |
The first stage of aerobic respiration is a series of biochemical reactions called the ______cycle | Krebs |
Fermentation takes place in absence of ______ | oxygen |
Lactic acid fermentation is a _____ process | anaerobic |
Which of the following is the best explanation for the presence of both chloroplasts and mitochondria in plant cells? | Sugars are produced in chloroplasts. These sugars can be stored and used by the mitochondria to produce ATP |
How many carbon dioxide molecules are produced during the cellular respiration of two glucose molecules? | twelve |
At a hydrogen ion pump of the thylakoid membrane, | energy from electrons is used to make ATP |
ATP is composed of a nitrogenous base, a sugar, and | three phosphate groups |
The series of molecules that cause protons to build up on one side of a membrane is a(n) | electron transport chain |
eye pigments: sight :: | chlorophyll : photosynthesis |
Carbon dioxide is converted into organic compounds in the | Calvin Cycle |
When a phosphate group is removed from an ATP molecule | a substantial amount of energy is released |
ATP is called a cell's energy "currency" because | ATP can be "made" in one place and "spent" or used in another |
In aerobic respiration, a two-carbon molecule combines with a four-carbon molecule as part of | the Krebs cycle |
While one type of electron transport chain of photosynthesis is used to form molecules of ATP, a second electron transport chain is used | to form molecules of NADPH |
Water in an end product in | the electron transport chain in aerobic respiration |
The carbon cycle makes carbon compounds continuously available in an ecosystem and delivers | chemical energy to organisms within the ecosystem |
Organisms that are NOT autotrophs | must consume other organisms to get energy |
The major atmospheric by-product of photosynthesis is | oxygen |
photosynthesis : oxygen :: | cellular respiration : carbon dioxide |
Cellular respiration takes place in two stages: | glycolysis, then aerobic respiration |
When electrons of a chlorophyll molecule are raised to a higher energy level, they | are transferred to an electron carrier |
The space inside the inner membrane of a chloroplast is called the | stroma |
light energy : excite electrons :: | ATP and NADPH : carbon dioxide fixation |
Which of the following processes produces the most ATP? | aerobic respiration |
An enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of ATP is | ATP synthase |
