BIO (2010) - Photosynthesis and Respiration Questions

ATP is produced through different types of cellular respiration. About how many more molecules of ATP are usually produced from aerobic respiration than from anaerobic respiration?

34, 35, or 36 molecules

C6H12O6 Glucose (sugar)

The diagram shown represents the input and output of a process performed by the chloroplast of a cell. Which substance made in addition to oxygen?

What is required for aerobic cellular respiration?

Oxygen

A student observes that a type of eubacteria contains chlorophyll. Which of these does this type of bacteria have in common with plants?

It is photosynthetic

Scientists hypothesize that oxygen began to accumulate in Earth's atmosphere after the appearance of living things with the ability to —

photosynthesize

The main purpose of the cellular metabolic process is to produce -

usable energy

Which of the following is most effective in helping rain forest plants trap sunlight so that light energy can be converted to chemical energy?

Large leaf size

The energy in the food produced by autotrophs or taken into the bodies of heterotrophs must be changed into a form that cells can use. The energy-transferring molecule used by cells is —

ATP

Algae and multicellular plants are autotrophs because they —

capture sunlight to produce sugars

The process of photosynthesis ultimately converts light energy into —

chemical energy

What process is carried out the same way in both plants and animals?

Cellular respiration

Around hot-water vents deep in the ocean live specialized communities. Bacteria turn hydrogen sulfide into sugars by a chemical process. The bacteria then provide food to other life forms, as shown in the diagram. Compared to food chains on land, the bacteria fill the same role as —

green plants

Photosynthesis is important for almost all life on Earth because it —

produces oxygen

The processes of photosynthesis and respiration can be thought of as a cycle because —

the products of one are used as the raw materials of the other
