    cc_profilecc.true_false.v0p1All organisms need <u>energy</u> to carry out life processes. TrueFalse1100cc_profilecc.true_false.v0p1<u>Photosynthesis</u> involves using energy to build organic molecules and breaking down organic molecules in which energy is stored. TrueFalse4100cc_profilecc.true_false.v0p1<u>ATP</u> is a portable form of energy “currency” inside cells. TrueFalse5100cc_profilecc.true_false.v0p1The final stage of photosynthesis during which sugar molecules are produced is light <u>dependent</u>. TrueFalse8100cc_profilecc.true_false.v0p1The reactions that “fix” carbon dioxide are sometimes called dark reactions. TrueFalse9100cc_profilecc.true_false.v0p1Most of the three-carbon sugars formed during the <u>Calvin</u> cycle are used to regenerate the five-carbon compound that began the cycle. TrueFalse11100cc_profilecc.true_false.v0p1<u>Carbon dioxide</u> concentration is one of the environmental factors that affect photosynthesis. TrueFalse13100cc_profilecc.true_false.v0p1During aerobic respiration, the breakdown of a molecule of glucose yields a net of up to <u>two</u> molecules of ATP. TrueFalse16100cc_profilecc.true_false.v0p1Fermentation takes place in absence of <u>carbon dioxide</u>. TrueFalse18100cc_profilecc.true_false.v0p1Lactic acid fermentation is an <u>anaerobic</u> process.
