| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is catabolic pathways? | those that break down organic molecules for energy |
| What is an anabolic pathway? | those that build up organic molecules to store energy for later use. |
| What is cellular respiration? | It is a chemical pathway in which organic molecules are broken down to release energy in quickly usableform (ATP) |
| What are the two types of cellular respiration? | Aerobic and Anaerobic |
| Aerobic Respiration | the breakdown of food using oxygen |
| What are the 4 stages of Aerobic Respiration? | 1.Glycolysis 2.The formation of acetyl CoA 3.The citric acid cycle 4. Oxidative phosphorylation |
| What is Anaerobic respiration.? | a pathway present in prokaryotes, is similar to aerobic but without the presence of oxygen |
| What happens in the stage of glycolysis? | The conversion of glucose into 3-carbon molecules of pyruvate. |
| Where does glycolysis take place? | in the cytosol of cells |
| What is photosynthesis? | the process found in plant cells which converts light to energy in the form of sugar |
| Where does photosynthesis take place in? | In the chloroplasts |
| About how many ATP are produced in aerobic respiration? | 36-38 ATP |
| What are the 2 way in which fermentation can occur? | Lactic Acid & Ethyl |
| What does Glycolysis mean? | Sugar Splitting |
| What occurs during the citric acid cycle? | The citric acid cycle oxidizes the remaining carbon atoms of each acetyl-CoA to CO2 |
| What is the electron transport chain? | it is the series of membrane complexes that transfers energy-rich electrons from one complex to another chain. |
| What are example of things that perform photosynthesis? | Plants, Algae, and some kinds of bacteria. |
| What are the 2 ways the photosynthetic pathway can be divided by? | The light-dependent reactions and the carbon fixation reactions. |
| What is a Rubisco? | an enzyme |
| What is a carbon fixation reaction? | They use the energy in ATP and NADPH to synthesize glucose. It is also called the Calvin Cycle. |
| Who performs cellular respiration? | all living things perform some kind of cellular respiration. |
| Living organisms maintain a constant balance of two opposing sets of metabolic reactions which are? | catabolic pathways and anabolic pathways |
| Aerobic respiration is divided into how many stages? | 4 |
| What happens in fermentation? | In fermentation, the reactions of glycolysis still occur, making 2 ATPs by substrate-level phosphorylation. |
