What is carbon fixation, and how does it relate to photosynthesis?

It is the absorption of CO2 from the air, and it occurs during the light-dependent reactions.

It is the reduction of CO2, and it occurs during the Calvin cycle.

It is the conversion of CO2 into organic compounds, and it forms 3-PGA.

It is the production of CO2 during regeneration, and it forms RuBP.

Which of the following is an inference?

A burning candle is extinguished when it is covered with a jar.

The candle burns longer than expected in a jar that has a plant in it.

A plant lives longer than expected in a jar that has a burning candle.

There is more oxygen in the jar because there is a plant in it.

Which statement describes thylakoids?

Glucose is formed here.

Water molecules are formed here.

Only photosystem II functions here.

Photosystems I and II function here.

An animal cell (left) and a plant cell (right) are shown.Which organelle, labeled X in the diagram, is found in both plant and animal cells?

the cell wall

the cell membrane

mitochondrion

ribosome

The Venn diagram compares aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration.Which statement could be categorized in the overlapping section of the Venn diagram?

uses pyruvic acid

has commercial uses

regenerates NADH

produces 36 ATP

Which statement correctly explains whether more ATP is found in muscle cells or bone cells?

More ATP is found in muscle cells because they use energy less efficiently than bone cells.

More ATP is found in bone cells because they grow more and need energy from ATP.

More ATP is found in bone cells because they need large amounts of energy to produce marrow.

More ATP is found in muscle cells because they need large amounts of energy to power motion.

How does ATP supply energy for cellular activities?

by breaking off a phosphate group from its structure

by releasing the sugar molecule from its structure

by adding a phosphate group to its structure

by attaching itself to a glucose molecule

Shannon is making a Venn diagram to organize the characteristics of cell walls and cell membranes. Which pair of characteristics both belong in the two areas of the Venn diagram that do not intersect?

helps with communication; contains mostly cellulose

contains mostly cellulose; forms the outer layer of animal cells

is found in plant cells; is found in animal cells

is semipermeable; found in animal cells

Which is the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain of cellular respiration?

NADH

FADH2

oxygen

carbon dioxide

A lab experiment to determine the rate of ATP production and its use in plants is conducted. In the lab, twenty circles cut from plant leaves are placed in a container of water with a light source, which allows photosynthesis to occur. When the rate of ATP production exceeds the ATP use, oxygen is given off by the plant cells, causing the leaf circles to float. Using the graph of data from this experiment, at which point was the light source most likely removed?

Consider the plant cells in the image below.Which is a function of the cell structure that is labeled X?

It stores lipids.

It helps in cell metabolism.

It provides support.

It transports proteins.

Which statement best distinguishes the light-dependent (L-D) reactions from the light-independent (L-IND) reactions?

The L-D reactions occur in the thylakoid membrane, and the L-IND reactions occur in the stroma.

The L-D reactions occur in the cytoplasm, and the L-IND reactions occur in the chloroplast.

The L-D reactions occur in the chloroplast, and the L-IND reactions occur in the mitochondria.

The L-D reactions occur in the stroma, and the L-IND reactions occur in the cytoplasm.

Which of the following can combine in a cell to convert a lower-energy molecule into a higher-energy molecule?

ADP + P + energy

ATP + P + energy

ADP + P

ATP + P

Which statement best describes the process of chemiosmosis and the direct result of its occurrence?

Hydrogen ions flow from the thylakoid down a concentration gradient through ATP synthase channels into the stroma. ADP is converted to ATP.

Hydrogen ions flow from the thylakoid down a concentration gradient through ATP synthase channels into the stroma. ATP is converted to ADP.

Hydrogen ions flow from the stroma down a concentration gradient through ATP synthase channels into the thylakoid. ADP is converted to ATP.
