BIOL 1406 TEST 3 EXAM GUIDE
Chapter 7
1. Oxidation/reduction reactions; what is oxidized, what is reduced & oxidizing/reducing
agents.
2. Function of NAD+ & NADP+ and how they are regenerated
3. Phases of respiration: Glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation & Krebs’s cycle, Oxidative
phosphorylation. Be able to explain all 3 phases in detail, the reactants & products
including energy output.
4. What is substrate-level phosphorylation & how is it different from oxidative
phosphorylation? In which phase of respiration do they occur?
5. Role of Oxygen in respiration.
6. Respiration & photosynthesis equations
7. Anaerobic vs. aerobic respiration in terms final electron acceptors
8. Trace the gradual decline of carbons from glucose to acetyl-coA i.e. start with glucose
which has 6 carbons and explain how they gradually decline.
9. How does the electron transport chain (ETC) generate ATP? Understand how the ETC
generates a proton gradient and how that proton gradient eventually generates ATP.
10. Fermentation: definition, reactants, products & final electron acceptors in both types of
fermentation
11. During respiration, where does the energy needed to make ATP come from?
Chapter 8
12. Light reactions & Calvin cycle- reactants, products of each phase & where each phase
takes place
13. Structure and function of Photosystem II & Photosystem I
14. Relationship between light reactions & Calvin cycle; explain how the products of the
light reactions are used in the Calvin cycle.
15. What is the Carbon dioxide acceptor in the Calvin cycle and what is the name of the
sugar that is made in the 2nd stage?
16. Explain photorespiration
17. C3, C4, & CAM plants- Describe adaptations to dry climates.
18. How are autotrophs different from heterotrophs?
19. Pigments-types and role in photosynthesis
20. ID parts of mitochondria and chloroplast (figures).
Chapter 10
21. Stages of interphase & mitosis (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and
cytokinesis) and what happens in each stage – Describe each stage in detail.
