Lab Final Flashcards
What is the equation for cellular respiration? Which are the reactants and which are products?
(Reactants/substrate) Glucose + O2———> (products) CO2+h2o+atp
What is the role of oxygen in cellular respiration?
Oxygen is the final electron acceptor in ETC
How did exercise affect your body’s production of carbon dioxide?
Exercise increased carbon dioxide production, because you’re breathing harder & breathing more.
What does DNA’s structure consist of?
Phosphate deoxyribose backbone, nitrogenous base complementary pairings with hydrogen bond (A->T, G->C) making double helix.
Why is DNA replication called semi conservative?
Because it conserves half of the old parental double helix in each new double helix daughter strand.
What was the function of each of the following procedures:
- Filter strawberry slurry through cheesecloth.
- Mush strawberry with salty/soapy solution.
- Initial smashing and grinding of strawberry.
- Addition of ethanol to filtered extract.
- Separate components of the cell.
- Break up proteins and dissolve cell membranes.
- Break open the cells.
- Precipitate DNA from solution.
What are some reasons it is important for scientist to be able to remove DNA from an organism?
Forensic Science, medical research
What happened when you added ethanol to your strawberry extract?
DNA was separated and rose to the top, the DNA was clumped.
What is a gene?
A sequence of DNA nucleotides that codes for a specific protein or RNA molecule
Name all of the cycles of cell division.
G1, S phase, G2, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis.
What is the purpose of the Kinetochore?
Protein molecule that attaches a sister chromatid to a spindle fiber.
What occurs in prophase one in meiosis?
Crossing over
What occurs in telophase 1 in meiosis?
Daughter cells form and going to divide again
What is the name of the organ that produces gametes?

Name of gametes?
Sperm and egg
What is the number of chromosomes in the gametes?
Half, n, haploid
What results and fertilization?
Zygote diploid 2n
