T or f
-homeostasis- is the process by which plants use sunlight to make organic compounds from carbon dioxide and water.
False, photosynthesis
T or f
All organisms need -energy- to carry out life processes.
True
T or f
-photosynthesis- is a process that takes place in autotrophs
True
T or f
Photosynthesis converts stable carbon dioxide molecules into -oxygen-, a less stable carbon compound.
False, glucose
T or f
Through the process of cellular respiration, cells make carbon in glucose into stable carbon dioxide and produce -energy-
True
T or f
-atp- is a portable form of energy “currency” inside cells
True
T or f
In cells, chemical energy is gradually released in a series of chemical -compounds- that are assisted by enzymes.
False, reactions
T or f
The thylakoid membrane is folded in a way that produces flat, disc-like sacs called -stroma-.
False, grana
T or f
Plant cells use light energy to make ATP and -NADPH-
True
T or f
Plants get electrons to replace the excited electrons that leave chlorophyll and molecules by splitting -water- molecules
True
T or f
The final stage of photosynthesis during which sugar molecules are produced is light -dependent-.
False, independent
T or f
Most of the three-carbon sugars formed during the -Calvin- cycle are used to regenerate the five-carbon compound that began the cycle.
True
T or f
Glycolysis breaks down glucose into two -pyruvates-.
True
T or f
Glycolysis occurs during the -second- stage of cellular respiration.
False, first
T or f
Glycolysis is an -aerobic- process.
False, anaerobic
T or f
The first stage of aerobic respiration is a series of biochemical reactions called the -Calvin- cycle
False, citric acid (kreb’s)
T or f
Fermentation takes place in absence of -carbon dioxide-
False, oxygen
T or f
Lactic acid fermentation is an -anaerobic- process
True
Most of the energy used by life on earth comes from the: Sun Rotation of earth Moon Weather
