Respiration
1) _____

transfer
energy when it is required for cellular processes.
2) ATP is regenerated from _____
ADP and inorganic phosphate by the
process of _______________
phosphorylation using energy released during respiration.
3) Oxidation
_________ involves the removal of hydrogen from a substrate and the
release of energy; _________
reduction involves the addition of hydrogen to a
substrate and the consumption of energy.
4) Glycolysis
_________ is a biochemical pathway common to aerobic and
_________ respiration. It involves the breakdown of glucose to _______
anaerobic
pyruvic
acid in the cytoplasm of a cell with the net gain of two ATP.
5) In the presence of ______,
oxygen aerobic respiration occurs in the central
______ of mitochondria where the respiratory substrate is oxidised
matrix
during ______
Krebs’ Cycle and _________
hydrogen is released.
6) This hydrogen becomes temporarily bound to NAD
____, a coenzyme
which transfers it to the ___________
cytochrome system on the cristae of
____________ where energy is released and used to form ATP.
mitochondria
7) As a result of ________
aerobic respiration, one molecule of glucose yields 38
ATP. ______
Water and CO2 are the final metabolic products.
8) In the absence of oxygen, anaerobic respiration occurs and one
molecule of glucose yields 2 ATP. The final metabolic products are
________ and ______________
ethanol
carbon dioxide in plant cells and _____
lactic acid in animal
cells (and some bacteria).

_______________.
chromatography
3) Chlorophyll absorbs light primarily in the ____
red and _____
blue regions of
the spectrum of white light. _______
yellow pigments absorb blue-green light.

absorption spectrum; the
rate of photosynthesis that occurs in a plant at different wavelengths of
action spectrum.
light can be presented as a graph called an ______
5) Chloroplasts possess internal structures called _______
grana which contain
photosynthetic pigments and are the site of the ______________
light-dependent stage of
photosynthesis. The region between grana is called the _______.
stroma It is the
carbon fixation stage of photosynthesis.

6) The light-dependent stage of photosynthesis is called __________.
photolysis It
produces the energy (held in _____)

the _________
reduction of carbon dioxide using the ATP and _________
hydrogen from
photolysis to form carbohydrate.
8) Photosynthesis is affected by temperature, light intensity and
