The conversion of CÓ and H2O into organic compounds using energy from light is called

Photosynthesis

If ATP accumulates in a cell,

Feedback inhabitation slows down cellular respiration

What two-carbon precursor molecule from carbohydrate metabolism is used to produce fatty acids?

acetyl-CoA

Which of the following processes produces the most ATP per molecule of glucose oxidized?

aerobic respiration

Besides sugars and fats, organisms can use other molecules as fuel for cellular respiration. When protein molecules are used, _____ are produced as waste.

amino groups

Using the ATP generated during cellular respiration, the intermediates of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle, such as pyruvate and acetyl CoA, can be siphoned off and used to __________.

build amino acids, fats and sugars

During cellular respiration, glucose is oxidized. However, an intermediate __________ can be siphoned off and used to synthesize fats.

glyceraldeyhyde 3-phosphate

When a cell uses fatty acids for aerobic respiration, it first hydrolyzes fats to

glycerol and fatty acids.

Bacteria that are unable to survive in the presence of oxygen are called

obligate anaerobes
