14 Questions
What is the subfield of biochemistry that studies the concept of energy flow within living systems?
Bioenergetics
In which process does energy flow in one direction and transform from one form to another?
Cellular Respiration
Which process involves the exchange of matter and energy in organisms requiring interactions from the sun's one-way flow through the ecosystem and cycling of nutrients?
Photosynthesis
What are the major features and sequence of chemical events in cellular respiration?
Glycolysis, Krebs cycle, Electron Transport System, Chemiosmosis
Where does cellular respiration take place?
Mitochondria
What is the primary function of mitochondria?
Energy production
What is ATP?
A form of energy used by cells
Which stage of cellular respiration occurs whether or not oxygen is present?
Glycolysis
What is the process that occurs in the mitochondria and involves the transfer of electrons to NADH and ATP production?
Electron Transport Chain
What type of molecule is broken down to produce glucose during glycolysis?
Glucose
Which part of the cell does glycolysis occur in?
Cytoplasm
What does ATP stand for?
Adenosine Triphosphate
Which pathway involves oxygen as a reactant and releases energy from food molecules?
Electron Transport Chain
What is the main function of cellular respiration?
Harvest energy from food molecules
Test your knowledge of energy transformation in cellular respiration and photosynthesis. Learn to differentiate between aerobic and anaerobic respiration, understand the major features and chemical events of cellular respiration, and describe the processes that produce and consume ATP. Explore the role of oxygen in respiration and pathways of electron flow in the absence of oxygen.
