Which of the following types of organisms do NOT depend on mitochondria to survive?


bacteria



What is the ultimate source of chemical energy for all living organisms?

ATP

When a molecule is reduced, it _________.

gains electrons. stores energy

In the absence of ATP synthase, animal cells would not be able to ____.


carry out oxidative phosphorylation


The final product of glycolysis is ____.

pyruvate

The small molecule intermediate phosphoenol-pyruvate (PEP) is unusual due to which chemical characteristic?


supplies a high energy phosphate to phosphorylate ADP


What molecule is responsible for carrying the acetyl group from pyruvate into the citric acid cycle?

CoA

Which molecule(s) is/are responsible for delivering the high energy electrons from the citric acid cycle to the electron transfer system?


Both NADH and FADH2

Why do cells go through fermentation?


to replenish NAD+


In the absence of O2, the partial metabolism of glucose in human muscles produces _________.


lactic acid


Choose the most correct statement about the two phases of photosynthesis.


The products of the light-dependent reactions are ATP, NADPH, and O2; the products of the light-independent reactions are ADP, NADP+, and sugar.

In the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, an excited electron from photosystem II is passed along an electron transport chain to ___________.


photosystem I


Each photosystem in a eukaryotic plant __________.


a) is composed of molecules of chlorophylls and carotenoids.


b) possesses a light-gathering antenna complex.


c) has a specialized chlorophyll a molecule in its reaction center


The molecule of chlorophyll a in photosystem I's reaction center is known as P700 because


it absorbs photons with a wavelength of 700 nm.


The primary purpose of the light-dependent reactions is to


provide electrons and energy for the light-independent reactions.


The Calvin cycle requires all of the following molecules EXCEPT for

glucose

The C4 cycle


ensures that CO2 is provided to rubisco and thus prevents photorespiration.

Which products of the light reactions are used in the Calvin cycle?


ATP and NADPH



Which of the following substances is not required at some point during photosynthesis?

O2

What is the ultimate fate of oxygen gas (O2) in cellular respiration?


It is converted to water.


How does cellular respiration differ in prokaryotes and eukaryotes?


Eukaryotes use mitochondria; prokaryotes use their plasma membrane.


What type of chemical reaction must occur for electrons to flow from one molecule to the next and supply the energy for metabolism?


reduction/oxidation


Which of these molecules has the most potential energy?

glucose

During which stages of cellular respiration is CO2 released?


both pyruvate oxidation and citric acid cycle



What is the function of NADH and FADH2?


Both provide electrons to the electron transfer system.


Oxygen acts as a final electron acceptor in respiration and is ultimately converted into which molecule?

water

What powers ATP synthase directly?


proton gradient


Where is ATP synthase located in non-photosynthetic eukaryotes?


inner mitochondrial membrane
