Front (Question)

What is Photosynthesis and what does it do?

Back (Answer)

• Photosynthesis is preformed by plants - Traps and collect solar energy converting it to chemical energy and storing it as glucose

Front (Question)

In Photosynthesis, energy conversion occurs in..

Back (Answer)

the Chloroplast

Front (Question)

Photosynthesis is an _____bolic pathway

Back (Answer)

Anabolic Pathway

Front (Question)

What is Cellular Respiration and what does it do?

Back (Answer)

• Cellular Respiration is performed by animals - Traps and breaks down chemical energy from the stored bonds of glucose into ATP (usable energy)

Front (Question)

In Cellular Respiration, energy conversation occurs in..

Back (Answer)

The Mitochondria

Front (Question)

Cellular Respiration is an ____bolic pathway

Back (Answer)

Catabolic Pathway

Front (Question)

What does the Anabolic pathway do?

Back (Answer)

Creates Large molecules from smaller ones

Front (Question)

Anabolic pathways _____ energy

Back (Answer)

Require energy. Require energy to form large molecules due to this, it is ENDOTHERMIC

Front (Question)

Anabolic pathway is _____thermic

Back (Answer)

ENDOTHERMIC

#10

Front (Question)

Photosynthesis is Anabolic because..

Back (Answer)

It conducts glucose from particles obtained from the suns energy

#11

Front (Question)

What does Catabolic pathways do?

Back (Answer)

Breaks down large molecules into small ones

#12

Front (Question)

Catabolic pathway ____ energy

Back (Answer)

Releases energy. Releases energy to break down large particles due to this, it is EXOTHERMIC. Energy EXITS - EXOTHERMIC

#13

Front (Question)

Catabolic pathway is _____thermic

Back (Answer)

EXOTHERMIC

#14

Front (Question)

Cellular Respiration is Catabolic because..

Back (Answer)

Breaks down into ATP

#15

Front (Question)

List all the following sub-structures of the Chloroplast.

Back (Answer)

Thylakoids, Grana and Stroma

#16

Front (Question)

Thylakoids are in the Chloroplast, what are they and its function?

Back (Answer)

Thylakoids are Flatten sacs containing Chlorophyll. A green coloured molecule responsible for TRAPPING solar energy.

#17

Front (Question)

What is a Grana in a Chloroplast?

Back (Answer)

Grana are multiple Thylakoid sacs stacked on top of each other. They are connected by a LAMELLAE.

#18

Front (Question)

What is a Stroma in a Chloroplast and its function?

Back (Answer)

Stroma is the inner fluid in a Chloroplast. They contain mixtures of protein and other chemicals used in the making of glucose.

#19

Front (Question)

List all the following sub-structures of the Mitochondria.

Back (Answer)

Matrix and Cristae.

#20

Front (Question)

What is a Matrix in the Mitochondria and what is its function?

Back (Answer)

Matrix is the fluid in the mitochondria. It contains proteins and other chemicals needed to break down glucose into ATP.

#21

Front (Question)

What is a Cristae in the Mitochondria and what is its function?

Back (Answer)

Cristae’s are folds of the inner membrane in the Mitochondria. They increase surface area for ATP production.
