125-147
Organisms utilize oxxygen for the breakdown of C-H bonds present in the food in their calls This breakdown yields energy which is transformed into ATP During this process the C-H bonds are broken by oxidation reduction reaction and so carbon dioxide and water are also produced The cellular energy-yielding process is called cellular reparation

Define Z scheme?
Answer: 126
126-147
The whole series of light reaction is called Z-scheme due to its z-shaped flow chant.

Question: 138
Define light-dependent reaction
Answer: 138
138-147
Light energy is captured and is used to make high- energy molecule. These reaction which are known as light reaction.
Question: 139
What was the discovering of Malvin Calvin ?
Answer: 139
139-147
Calvin was awarded the Nobel prize in 1961 for his work on the detail of photosynthesis.
Question: 140
What is ATP? Name the subunit of ATP molecular?
Answer: 140
140-147
A- The major energy currency of all cells is a nucleotide called adenosinetriphosphateATP. Each type ATP moleculehas three subunits
1- adenine a double ringed nitrogenous base
2- a ribose a five carbon sugar
3- Three phosphate group in a linear chain.
Question: 141
Define electron transport chain?
Answer: 141
141-147
Electron transport chain is the final step of cellular respiration. It is the transfer of electron on an electron transport chain.
Question: 142
Difference between photosynthesis
Answer: 142
142-147
Difference between photosynthesis and respiration

Question: 143
Why it is said all life depends on photosynthesis
Answer: 143
143-147
The process by which utilizes sunlight to make food and oxygen from carbon dioxide life depend on photosynthesis
Question: 144
What is pyruvic acid?
Answer: 144
