T2: In the absence of oxygen, our cells can obtain energy by fermentation, resulting in the production of _____________. ATP, NAD+. and lactate
T2: If pigments from a particular species of plant are extracted and subjected to paper chromatography, what is most likely to happen? Paper chromatography would separate the pigments from a particular plant into several bands.
T2: What describes the relationship between photosynthesis and respiration? Photosynthesis stores energy in complex organic molecules. Respiration releases energy from complex organic molecules
T2: What is the main component of an animal cell membrane? Phospholipids
T2: Photosynthesizing plants: Are autotrophs, use CO2 and release O2 during daylight
