Cody is trying to explain to Sarah that one advantage enjoyed by plant cells is that they do not need to bring CO2 in from the environment for photosynthesis. He says, “They can simply grow by using the CO2 generated from cellular respiration”. How should Sarah respond? A. YES! This is a great example of thermodynamic equilibrium, or balance. B. YES! Since CO2 will move rapidly from mitochondria to the chloroplast. C. NO! To grow, the cell must fix more CO2 than it releases through respiration. D. NO! Most plant cells do not photosynthesize and respire at the same time.

For each of the statements below, indicate whether they are true or false and then in detail explain why the false statements are incorrect, making reference to the relevant cell processes and/or molecules. A. In cellular respiration the ETC transfers electrons via redox reactions whereas in photosynthesis the ETC transfers electrons using light. B. In cellular respiration the ETC creates a proton gradient with the higher concentration on the outer side of the inner membrane whereas in photosynthesis the ETC creates a proton gradient with the higher concentration on the inner side of the thylakoid membrane. C. In cellular respiration the ETC gradient is used to power ATP production by oxidative phosphorylation whereas in photosynthesis the ETC gradient is used to power ATP production by substrate level phosphorylation.
The above product water molecules are generated in which eukaryotic cell compartment?A. the mitochondrial matrix (site of the Krebs cycle)B. the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts (site of photosystems I and II)C. the chloroplast stroma (site of the Calvin cycle)D. the inner mitochondrial membrane (site of electron transport)E. the cytoplasm (site of glycolysis)
Which of the following statements is a lie? Select one: a.The transfer of energy in living systems use electrons to allow the cell to transfer energy in large amounts. b.Electrons play an important role in redox reactions. This is true because it is the electrons that undergo the redox reactions in living systems. c.For nicotinamide adenine (NAD), its oxidized form is NAD+ while its reduced form is NADH. This is true because NAD+ can accept electrons from an organic molecule.
Cellular respiration is a very challenging topic to learn. Instead of asking you many detailed questions about the process, I would rather you show me that you understand the big picture. Why is it necessary for all organisms to do cellular respiration? It doesn't matter if you are a top tier consumer like you and I or a simple decomposing yeast, all organisms must do some sort of cellular respiration. You can answer this by describing the overall purpose and outcome of cellular respiration. You are not required to get into minute details. I DELL

Which of the following DOES NOT describe Cellular Respiration? * a. It provides cells with the energy they need to function. b. Cellular respiration is essential to both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells because this biochemical energy is produced to fuel many metabolic processes, such as biosynthesis, locomotion, and transportation of molecules across membranes c. Without the process of cellular respiration, there is no gaseous exchange and the cells, tissue and other organs die due to the lack of oxygen and by the accumulation of carbon dioxide within the cells and tissues. d. Cellular respiration is a type of passive cell transport. Molecules move from areas O of high concentration to areas of low concentration in order to decrease the concentration gradient

Protons move across the thylakoid membrane in both directions during the light reactions of photosynthesis...... 1. When protons move in to the thylakoid, are they moving up or down their concentration gradient? (From low to high concentration or from high to low concentration?) 2. Since protons are charged, they cannot freely diffuse across a plasma membrane. What protein(s) facilitate the transport of protons in to the thylakoid?
