Improving Respiration and Photosynthesis

Question 1

What carrier is made in small numbers during glycolysis and pyruvate oxidation?

Answer 1

NADH

Question 2

What carriers are used in respiration and what are used in photosynthesis

Answer 2

NADH and FADH2 are used in respiration, NADPH is used in photosynthesis

Question 3

Why is oxygen’s role in cellular respiration

Answer 3

it is the final electron acceptor

Question 4

Where does each step of respiration take place?

Answer 4

Glycolosis = cytoplasm
Oxidation + Krebs = Mitochondrial Matrix
Electron Transport Chain = Mitochondrial membrane

Question 5

What is the reduction phase?

Answer 5

In the calvin cycle, after you have 2 three carbon molecules (3-PGA) and you use NADPH and ATP to further modify it into G3P

Question 6

Where does the Calvin cycle take place?

Answer 6

The stroma (fluid outside the chloroplast)

Question 7

Where does the ETC take place

Answer 7

The thylakoid membrane/thylakoid space is where the hydrogen gets pumped
