Honors Biology Final Exam Review
ACTUAL Exam Questions and CORRECT
Answers
glycolysis - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔the breakdown of glucose by enzymes, releasing
energy and pyruvic acid.
fermentation - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔anaerobic respiration; breaks down glucose in the
absence of oxygen
NADH - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔electron carrier that stores energy used to make ATP;
gives electrons to the protein complexes in the electron transport chain
pyruvate - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Three-carbon compound that forms as an end product
of glycolysis.
2 - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔net gain of ATP of glycolysis
endergonic reaction - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Reaction that absorbs energy from its
surroundings.
exergonic reaction - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔A chemical reaction that releases energy
ATP - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔(adenosine triphosphate) main energy source that cells use
for most of their work
oxidative phosphorylation - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Part of the electron transport chain
that results in the formation of ATP from the flow of electrons through the ETC and
chemiosmosis
Krebs Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle) - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔second stage of cellular
respiration, in which pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide
, chemiosmosis - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔the use of energy in a H+ gradient to drive
cellular work using the ATP synthase
coenzyme A - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔an enzyme in respiration that helps form acetyl-
CoA
mitochondrial cristae - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔folds of the mitochondrial inner
membrane that provide an increase in the surface area
light reactions - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔reactions of photosynthesis that use energy from
light to produce energy-rich glucose and NADPH
reactants of cellular respiration - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔glucose and oxygen
products of cellular respiration - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔carbon dioxide, water, and ATP
reactants of photosynthesis - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight
products of photosynthesis - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔G3P (which turns into another form
of sugar) and oxygen
calvin cycle - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔light-independent reaction of photosynthesis that
results in high-energy compounds such as sugar
stroma - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔fluid portion of the chloroplast; outside of the thylakoids
chlorophyll - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔A green pigment found in the chloroplasts that
absorbs light
red-blue - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔wavelengths of light that chlorophyll absorbs
