BSC2010L- photosynthesis, enzymes, & cellular respiration
Question | Answer |
---|---|
What is photosynthesis? (Check all that apply). | the conversion of sunlight energy into chemical energy the process by which plants, some bacteria, and some protist use the energy from sunlight to produce sugar |
The organelle where photosynthesis occurs is the | chloroplast |
The reactants of photosynthesis are | water and carbon dioxide |
The products of photosynthesis are | glucose and oxygen |
Photosynthesis is | divided into two major steps, light dependent reactions and light independent reactions |
Which of the following is NOT a product of the light reaction? | carbon dioxide |
All of the following are required for the Calvin cycle except | H2O |
Different photosynthetic pigments from a plant pigment extract can be separated by | paper chromatography |
Which way do the chlorophyll bands move on the chromatography paper? | up the chromatography paper |
Of the visible light spectrum, the rate of photosynthesis is worst under | green light |
How do the products of glycolysis and the Krebs cycle relate to the electron transport chain? | Glycolysis and the Krebs cycle produce the molecules that shuttle electrons to the electron transport chain |
Why is cellular respiration important? | It generates ATP, which cells can use to do work |
Oxygen is a product of the electron transport chain. | False |
The first stage of cellular respiration, called ___________, takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell and needs no oxygen. | glycolysis |
A process common to all living organisms, whether aerobic or anaerobic, is | glycolysis |
In the yeast fermentation experiment, what is being produced to cause the air bubble at the top of the tube to increase over time? | CO2 |
In muscle cells, fermentation produces not alcohol but | lactic acid |
In the yeast fermentation experiment, what is being produced to cause the air bubble at the top of the tube to increase over time? | CO2 |
Fructose can be used as a substrate in yeast fermentation. | True |
During the experiment measuring energy production in plants, the highest rate of cellular respiration occurred in | the tube containing germinating seeds |
What are enzymes? Enzymes are | proteins |
Binding to an enzyme's active site Which of the following binds to the active site of an enzyme? | substrate |
The two data curves on the figure illustrate that | temperature ranges are not the same for all enzyme activity |
The primary function of an enzyme or any biological catalyst is to | reduce the energy of activation and increase the rate of a reaction |
Consider the biochemical pathway below, where A, B, and C are substrates and products and E1 and E2 are the enzymes that catalyze the reactions. If Enzyme 1 (E1) is inactive, which of the following compounds will accumulate? A ---E1-->B---E2-->C | A only |
As the amount of substrate is increased in an enzyme-substrate reaction, | the amount of product increases |
Enzyme activity can be determined in the following ways: | by measuring how much of the substrate is consumed by measuring how much of the product is produced |
Human catalase has an optimum temperature of 37oC. Increasing the temperature by 30 degrees above the optimum range will (Select all that apply) | denature the enzyme cause an abrupt decrease in the rate of activity |
Which of the following best describe what enzymes are and how they are used? | catalytic proteins that are efficient in initiating chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy |
The substrate binds at the enzyme's | active site |
Chlorophyll a is | blue-green |
Chlorophyll b is | yellow-green |
Carotene are | Orange |
Xanthophyll's are | yellow |
What does chromatography solvent do? | it dissolves pigment and allows for separation. The solvent then moves up to paper and the pigment is carried and separated. |
Why does Chlorophyll b appear yellow-green? | it reflects light in those wave lengths and absorbs violet and red. |
Why do different photosynthetic pigments migrate to different points on the chromatography paper? | the pigments differ in thier solubility and affinity for the paper. |
What happens during cellular respiration? | glucose and oxygen is broken down to make ATP, CO2 and water. Stages: glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid or Krebs cycle. |
What happens during photosynthesis? | six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules, are converted by light energy captured by chlorophyll (implied by the arrow) into a sugar molecule and six oxygen molecules, the products. CO2 is consumed and turned to oxygen. |
