BSC 108 Test 2 – Martin-Study Guide
Which of the following are required for the Calvin cycle?
a. ATP
b. CO2
c. rubisco
d. all of the above
e. none of the above - Answer d. all of the above
What is the primary plant pigment used in photosynthesis? - Answer chlorophyll
The fluid inside chloroplasts is referred to as - Answer stroma
The following are products of photosynthesis - Answer glucose and oxygen
Where does photosynthesis occur? - Answer inside the chloroplasts of plant cells
Where does water enter a plant? - Answer through the roots
Plants appear green because - Answer the green wavelength of light is reflected
In photosynthesis, what are the products of the light-dependent reactions? - Answer ATP,
NADPH, and O2
What is the primary function of plant pigments? - Answer to absorb solar energy
What are the two main processes of photosynthesis? - Answer the light- dependent reactions
and the calvin cycle
Summarize the events of the calvin cylcle - Answer Carbon dioxide is removed from the
atmosphere and attached to the five-carbon sugar RuBP. The resulting molecule is reduced to
glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P), which can be used to make glucose. The five-carbon sugar
RuBP is regenerated and the cycle begins again.
Why is photosynthesis important to all organisms? - Answer Photosynthesis is responsible for
the release of oxygen into the atmosphere that is required by almost all living organisms for
, cellular respiration. In addition, photosynthetic organisms convert solar energy into glucose and
other molecules that provide energy for the rest of the food chain.
Where do the citric acid cycle and electron transport take place? - Answer in the mitochondria
T or F : The difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration is that aerobic respiration
requires oxygen. - Answer True
The vast majority of ATP molecules produced within a cell are produced.. - Answer during
electron transport
the first stage of cellular respiration is... - Answer glycolysis
How many molecules of ATP can be produced from one molecule of glucose in cellular
respiration? - Answer 38
During fermentation, pyruvate is converted to ________ in most animal cells. - Answer lactic
acid
During fermentation, pyruvate is converted to ________ in yeast cells. - Answer ethanol
Where does glycolysis take place? - Answer in the cytoplasm
What is the beginning molecule in glycolysis? - Answer glucose
T or F : Glycolysis requires oxygen - Answer False
What is the equation for cellular respiration? - Answer glucose + oxygen > water + carbon
dioxide + energy or C6H12O6 + O2 > H2O + CO2 + ATP
Compare and contrast photosynthesis and cellular respiration. - Answer Both processes
convert energy from one form to another. Both take place inside specialized organelles. Both
involve water, oxygen, and carbon dioxide. Photosynthesis takes place only in plants, algae, and
some bacteria whereas cellular respiration takes place in all organisms. Photosynthesis stores
energy in the form of glucose molecules, while cellular respiration releases it.
