Quiz 1: Photosynthesis/Cell Repiration

Photosynthesis/Cellular Respiration Quiz

1. Explain why almost all organisms depend upon photosynthesis to satisfy their energy needs.
2. When plants photosynthesize, they always make more glucose than they require for energy. Explain
3. Where exactly would you find chlorophyll and the ETC?
4. What is the relationship of the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
5. Cellular respiration uses glucose, a high energy molecule and produces CO2 and water, low energy molecules. Is it spontaneous? Is it exergonic? What happens to the energy released from glucose?
6. Where does glycolysis occur in the cell?
7. The Kreb cycle occurs in the mitochondrial matrix. What molecule does it breakdown to produce ATP, NADH and carbon dioxide?


EXTRA CREDIT
I. Which organisms are responsible for carrying out the MOST photosynthesis on the earth?
II. After a heart attack, small amounts of lactic acid can be found in heart muscle cells. What does this evidence suggest about the nature of a heart attack? (the heart did not receive the oxygen it required)
