maximum rates of photosynthesis are obrained with:
both red and blue light supplied together
most of the useful energy released from glucose catabolism (respiration) is transferred to
ATP
which of the following will NOT serve as an energy source in respiration after you eat or drink?
carbon dioxide
if all the mitochondria were removed from the cells of green plants, which one of the following biochemical processes would immediately cease:
repiration
the yield of energy from anaerobic respiration:
is less than from aerobic repiration
during glycolysis what provides the initial energy of activation or source of start up energy so that glycolysis can produce 4 ATP's?
ATP
which of the following is an example of an electron carrier molecule?
NADH
during celllar repiration, where does electron transport specifically occur?
inner mitchondrial membrane
which of the following functions as an electron acceptor in the citric acid cycle
FAD
the role of water in photosynthesis is to
provide electrons & H+
where do most of the carbon atoms come from that make up a plant's or animal's tissues?
CO2 from the air
if you expose a photosynthesizing plant to water that contains both radioactive H and radioactive O, in which of the products of photosynthesis will the radioactive H and O show up?
H in glucose and water; O in O2
an electron-transport chain for photoautotrophs is located in which of the following:
chloroplasts
dark reactions (or light independent reactions) can be called "dark reactions" because:
they do not depend directly on sunlight as long as ATP and NADPH2 are available
where in the process of photosynthesis is oxygen gas produced?
during light capture
the photosynthetic process where water is split and H+, e-, and O2 is given off is called:
photolysis
what is the source of the chemical energy that most cells on earth rely on?
photosynthsis
which of the following donates phosphate and energy in the calvin-benson cycle?
ATP
sugars are made in the organelle known as the:
chloroplast
in what form do plants store the energy captured by photosynthesis?
sugars
which of the following endings denotes an enzyme?
-ase
what product that is required by plants do animals produce during cellular respiration?
CO2
what is the purpose of a cuticle on a leaf?
to prevent water loss
what happens to the energy carriers made during the light reactions? they are use
to provide energy for the synthesis of sugar
electron transfer chains allow a series of controlled
oxidation-reduction reactions
which of the following can pick up electrons and deliver them to an electron transfer chain?
NAD
every day a human must product about ____ of ATP
40lbs or more
which of the following statements is NOT true concerning an electron that has absorbed a photon?
it becomes more stable and stays in its orbit
which of the following statements describes an electron transfer chain?
it transfers energy stepwise, from one compound to another
in certain organisms and under certain conditions ______ can be used as an energy alternative to glucose
-fatty acids
-amino acids
-glycerol
-(all of the above)
during which part of potosynthesis is O2 created?
O2 is a product in the light reactions
before photosynthesis evolved, _____ was rare in the earth's atmosphere.
O2
the term "cycle" is used to describe the calvin cycle because
the process begins and ends with the same C5 molecule
which of the following occurs during the calvin cycle of photosynthesis?
carbon dioxide is converted to chemicals that can be used to make sugars
which of the following is NOT true of chlorophyll?
it is found in mitochondria
suppose you are studying photosynthesis in a research lab. you grow your plants in a chamber with a source of water that has a radioactively labeled oxygen atom. what photosynthetic product will be radioactive?
O2 gas
if a molecule or compound gains electrons, it has been:
reduced
a leaf looks green because
leaf pigments reflect green light
pyruvate can be regarded as the end-product of
glycolysis
what is the name of the process by which reduced NAD+ transfers electrons to oxygen in respiration?
electron transport phosphorylation or ETC
during electron transport phosphorylation, which ions accumulate in the outer compartment of the mitochondria that will later produce ATP?
hydrogen
the ultimate or final electron acceptor of spend or tired electrons in aerobic repiration is
O2
under anaerobic conditions muscle cells produce
lactic acid
if fermentation follows glycolysis
the two NADH molecules produced during glycolysis will (depending on the organism) be used to reduce pyruvate to either lactate or ethanol and CO2. NAD must be recycled to do this
lactate production in muscle cells is
-temporary
-due to oxygen deficiency
-an NAD regenerator
when blood glucose levels decrease (as between meals), what reserves or stored molecules are tapped first?
glycogen
which of the following is the main purpose of cellular repiration?
release of energy
which of the following are produced during the light reactions of photosynthesis?
ATP, NADPH, O2
a respiration reaction which can proceed without oxygen is called
anaerobic
chloroplasts contain disk-like membranous sacs arranged in stacks. the stacks are called
grana
for each molecule of glucose converted to pyruvic acid:
2 molecules are used and 4 are produced
chlorophyll reflects which color of light
green
the final hydrogen acceptor in the noncyclic pathway of ATP (photosystem 2) formation is
NADP+
photoautotrophs that use water as a source of electrons:
increase the concentration of oxygen in the atmosphere
the variety of chlorophyll present in all green plants and required directly in photolysis (oxygen release)
chlorophyll a
outside the body, sugar can catch fire and burn in an exergoic reaction. inside the body, we also talk about burning sugar in an exergonic reaction, BUT it NEVER catches a body on fire. why not?
when sugar is lit on fire, all of the bonds are broken at once. when the body breaks down sugar, enzymes break down one bond at a time

deep ocean rifts
the process by which carbon dioxide is removed from the air and attached to organic molecules is called
