General Biology I (BIOL 101) Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis FRQ-Style Exam Review
University of California, Los Angeles
General Biology I (BIOL 101) | Exam Review

Overview
A high-yield cellular energetics review that helps students answer experiment and data questions on respiration and photosynthesis quickly.

Key topics
•glycolysis link reaction krebs and ETC flow
•chemiosmosis and ATP synthase logic
•photosystems light reactions and Calvin cycle
•FRQ data interpretation and rate calculations

Suggested study tasks
•build a respiration vs photosynthesis comparison table
•label key steps on a mitochondrion and chloroplast diagram
•answer one FRQ-style graph and conclusion prompt

Common pitfalls
•mixing where each step occurs
•confusing NADH and FADH2 roles in the ETC
•using ATP totals without tracking what is net
