  • What is photorespiration?

    Process where O2 and ATP react with carbon compounds, releasing CO2 and reducing sugar yield.

  • Net ATP yield from glycolysis per glucose molecule

    2 net ATP are produced per glucose molecule during glycolysis.

  • Total CO2 released during pyruvate oxidation per glucose

    2 CO2 molecules are released per glucose during pyruvate oxidation (1 per pyruvate).

  • Total ATP produced in the citric acid cycle per glucose

    2 ATP are produced per glucose molecule during the citric acid cycle (2 turns).

  • Approximate ATP yield from oxidative phosphorylation per glucose

    About 28 ATP are produced per glucose molecule during oxidative phosphorylation.

  • Role of NADH and FADH2 in cellular respiration

    NADH and FADH2 carry electrons to the electron transport chain for ATP production.

  • Purpose of coenzyme A in pyruvate oxidation

    Coenzyme A binds acetyl groups to form acetyl-CoA for entry into the citric acid cycle.

  • Main products of the light reactions used in the Calvin cycle

    ATP and NADPH produced in light reactions are used as energy and reducing power in the Calvin cycle.

  • What is G3P in photosynthesis?

    G3P (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate) is the 3-carbon sugar produced as the net output of the Calvin cycle.

  • Why does photorespiration reduce sugar yield?

    Photorespiration consumes O2 and ATP, releasing CO2, which decreases the efficiency of sugar production.

  • Difference between lactate and alcohol fermentation products

    Lactate fermentation produces lactate; alcohol fermentation produces ethanol and CO2.

  • Overall purpose of cellular respiration

    To convert glucose into usable energy in the form of ATP through a series of metabolic pathways.
