BI 101 Key Concepts for Photosynthesis (Ch 5) and Respiration
(Ch 6)
Know the examples given for the importance of photosynthesis.
Define and give an example of a specific metabolic pathway.
The z-scheme is a model that explains what metabolic pathway?
What are the predominate wavelengths (i.e. colors) of light that are captured
and converted to chemical bond energy (ATP) during photosynthesis?
Prepare multiple responses (some of which simply refer to different
levels of specificity) to each of the following bulleted questions.
- What metabolic process consumes CO2
[can you list 5 processes by name]
- What metabolic processes produce CO2
[can you list 3 processes by name]
- What metabolic process produces O2
[can you list 3 processes by name]
- What metabolic process consumes O2
[can you list 2 processes by name]
- What metabolic processes produce or supply electrons to electron carriers
[name two processes in respiration]
- What metabolic processes remove electrons from electron carriers? [name
three processes in respiration]
- In what metabolic process is ATP produced during photosynthesis [2
processes by name]; during respiration [3 processes by name]?
- Compare Aerobic vs. Anaerobic respiration
- Why is O2 needed during respiration?
- Which metabolic pathway of respiration yields the most ATP?
- Under what conditions is ethanol produced during respiration?
- Under what conditions is lactate produced during respiration?
- Where in the cell does glycolysis occur? Where does the Krebs cycle
occur? Where does the electron transfer phosphorylation occur for
cellular respiration?
- What are the respiratory gases?
