| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Compare and contrast simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and active transport. Include energy requirements and the direction molecules move. | Simple diffusion moves molecules from high to low concentration without proteins. Facilitated diffusion also moves molecules from high to low concentration but uses proteins. Active transport moves molecules from low to high concentration and requires ATP |
| Explain how an enzyme works using the terms substrate, active site, and product. Also explain what happens if the enzyme becomes denatured. | A substrate binds to an enzyme's active site. The enzyme converts the substrate into products and releases them. If the enzyme is denatured, its shape changes and it cannot function properly. |
| Describe the three major stages of aerobic cellular respiration (glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and ETC). Include the location and main products of each stage. | Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm and produces 2 ATP and 2 NADH. The Krebs cycle occurs in the mitochondrial matrix and produces 2 ATP, NADH, FADH₂, and CO₂. The ETC occurs on the inner mitochondrial membrane and produces about 32 ATP and water. |
| Explain the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration. | Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen. Cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen to produce ATP, carbon dioxide, and water. The products of one process are the reactants of the other. |
| Compare C3, C4, and CAM plants. Explain how C4 and CAM plants reduce photorespiration | C3 plants use the standard Calvin cycle. C4 plants separate carbon fixation and the Calvin cycle into different cells. CAM plants open their stomata at night to conserve water. C4 and CAM plants reduce photorespiration in hot, dry environments. |
