Q

How is the rate of photosynthesis influenced by the distance of the light source?

A

The closer the light source, the faster the rate of photosynthesis.
However, the rate of photosynthesis does not decrease at the same rate
the distance is decreased.

Q

which plants prefer the green light and why?

A

none, because green is not absorbed in the leaves from the light. Because
light is necessary for photosynthesis, the plants cannot use it to produce
food, and so they cannot grow as well.

Q

Explain how a crime lab could use paper chromatography to determine if lipstick
found at a crime scene matched the lipstick of a suspect.

A

If the pigments in each lipstick have the same Rf, than they are
most likely a match. Lipsticks are made of different pigments and products and
can differ in their Rf.

Q

What are some similarities between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

A

1) the reactants of cellular respiration are the same as the products of photosynthesis, and vice versa.
2) When comparing cellular respiration and photosynthesis, something I noticed was that cellular respiration contains four stages which are Glycolysis, Pyruvate Oxidation, Krebs cycle, Electron Transport Chain (oxidative phosphorylation) and photosynthesis has two stages which are the light-dependent reaction and the Calvin cycle.
3) Cellular respiration is a catabolic reaction where big molecules break down into smaller molecules. Photosynthesis is an anabolic reaction where small molecules form larger molecules.

coiled rod-like structures that contain DNA

A

chromosomes

36
Q

A

43
Q

A

crossing over

45
Q

programmed cell death

A

apoptosis

46
Q

what are 5 differences between mitosis and meiosis?

A

number of divisions (mitosis:1 / meiosis: 2) , number of stages ( mitosis: 4 / meiosis: 8), purpose (mitosis: gorwth&repair / meiosis:reproduction) , type of cells (mitosis: somatic / meiosis: gametes) ,chromosome product (mitosis: daughter has same # as parent / meiosis: daughter has 1/2 # of parent)

47
Q

Explain why more cells in the exercise above are found in Interphase and Prophase
compared to the other phases?

A

Cells spend more time in Interphase because they are going through the stages of G1,
S, and G2 in Interphase and have to pass checkpoints to continue on. Not all of the
cells pass the checkpoints in Interphase and cannot continue on to the Mitotic stage.

48
Q

List three processes that lead to genetic diversity and list what phase the process occurs
in.

A

1) crossing over occurs during Prophase I
2) independent assortment occurs during Anaphase I
