6 Questions
In aerobic respiration, the terminal electron acceptor is:
Oxygen
Which of the following is/are the products of the light reactions of photosynthesis?
ATP, NADPH, and O2
As the electron flow through the chain, much of their free energy is conserved in the form of ATP. This process is called:
Oxidative phosphorylation
The flow of genetic material in microbial cells usually takes place from:
DNA through RNA to proteins
During which of the following processes is a new copy of a DNA molecule precisely synthesized?
Replication
Clostridium botulinum food poisoning is due to:
Both (a) and (b)
Study Notes
Aerobic Respiration and Photosynthesis
- In aerobic respiration, oxygen is the terminal electron acceptor.
- The light reactions of photosynthesis produce ATP, NADPH, and O2.
Energy Flow and Genetic Material
- Oxidative phosphorylation is the process by which energy from electron flow is conserved in the form of ATP.
- In microbial cells, the flow of genetic material occurs from DNA through RNA to proteins.
- During DNA replication, a new copy of a DNA molecule is precisely synthesized.
Tetanospasmin and Exotoxins
- Tetanospasmin is a heat-labile protein, a neurotoxin, and can be a toxoid.
- Botulinum toxin is the most toxic exotoxin.
Clostridium Botulinum Food Poisoning
- Clostridium botulinum food poisoning occurs due to both invasion of bacteria in the intestine and preformed toxin.
This quiz covers key concepts in cellular respiration and photosynthesis, including the terminal electron acceptor and products of light reactions. It also touches on energy flow and genetic material in microbial cells.
