25
What is ATP? What does ATP become when a phosphate is released?
1. A molecule that transfers energy | 2. ADP
26
What does the control in an experiment do?
It allows a mixed group of comparisons among the experimental group
27
What does the carbon cycle do?
makes carbon compounds available in an ecosystem and delivers chemical energy to organisms within the ecosystem
28
How many carbon dioxide molecules are produced during the cellular respiration of two glucose molecules?
12
29
What is an enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of ATP?
ATP synthase
30
What does the hydrogen ion pump do?
enables plants to convert light energy to chemical energy
31
What are hydrogen ion pumps responsible for?
Providing energy to produce ATP molecules?
32
What happens at a hydrogen ion pump?
Energy from electrons is used to make ATP
33
What environmental affect does not affect the rate of photosynthesis?
Oxygen concentration
34
What is the final electron acceptor in aerobic respiration?
Oxygen
35
What is formed during the Krebs cycle?
CO2 FADH2 NADH
36
What would happen if oxygen is absent during the second stage of cellular respiration?
Fermentation will occur
37
What processes don't need oxygen?
Fermentation and glycolysis
38
What is unique about the chromosome of a bacterium?
It has a circular shape
39
What does DNA do in order to fit within a cell?
It wraps tightly around histones
40
What happens in Mitosis?
The nucleus divides into 2 nuclei
41
What phase of mitosis occurs when the chromosomes align along the cell equator?
Metaphase
42
What is DNA replication checked by in mitosis?
Repair enzymes
43
What happens in prophase?
1. Chromatin condense into chromosomes 2. Spindle fibers grow from centrioles 3. The fibers move to the center of the cell
44
What happens in Metaphase?
1. Spindle fibers attach to the centromere of each chromosome 2. Chromosomes align along the equator of the cell
45
What happens in anaphase?
1. Chromosomes separate into chromatids | 2. Chromosomes radiate towards opposite sides of the cell
46
In eukaryotes, what is the cell cycle controlled by?
Proteins
47
What is the purpose of cellular respiration? Is it aerobic or anaerobic? Where does it take place? What are the products?
To make ATP by breaking down sugars from photosynthesis. CR is aerobic. CR occurs in the mitochondria Carbon dioxide, water, 38 ATP for every glucose molecule,
48
What is chemosynthesis?
A process by which some organisms use chemical energy instead of light energy to make ATP
49
What is the equation for photosynthesis? What is the equation for cellular respiration?
Carbon dioxide and water ---------> glucose and oxygen Cellular respiration equation is reverse of photosynthesis
50
Where do the Light dependent reactions take place? Light independent?
LDR-thylakoid membrane LIDR-stroma of chloroplast
51
What is needed for the light independent reactions to occur? What is made? What is made in the light dependent reactions?
Carbon dioxide is needed and glucose, NADP+, and ADP are made in the light INDEPENDENT reactions Oxygen, ATP, and NADPH is made in the light DEPENDENT reactions
52
What does glycolysis do? Aerobic or anaerobic?
Splits glucose (6carbon) into 3 carbon molecules and 2 ATP. Anaerobic
53
How are CR and glycolysis related?
Glycolysis breaks down glucose to form the reactants of cellular respiration?
54
What is the function of NADH in the electron transport chain? What is the function of oxygen in cellular respiration?
To carry energized electrons to the proteins of the ETC. Oxygen-to carry electrons and hydrogen ions to form H20
55
What happens if oxygen is present after glycolysis? Not present?
Present=cellular respiration begins Absent=fermentation begins
56
What is the purpose of fermentation? What is formed in alcoholic fermentation? What causes bread to rise?
To allow glycolysis to continue to produce ATP by supplying NAD+. An alcohol, carbon dioxide, and NAD+. Carbon dioxide produced from fermentation by yeast causes bread to rise
57
What would be the blood type of a person who inherited an A allele from one parent and an O allele from the other parent?
Type A
58
What are the 3 types of asexual reproduction?
Budding, fragmentation, and binary fission
59
What are homologous chromosomes?
Pairs of chromosomes containing genes that code for the same traits
60
What is a haploid cell and an example? Diploid cell and an example?
Haploid- a cell that only has one copy of each chromosome. Ex. A germ cell Diploid- a cell that has both copies of each chromosome from both parents. Ex. Skin cell
61
When does crossing over occur?
Prophase 1
62
What does Mendel's law of segregation state?
The two alleles for a trait SEGREGATE independently when gametes are formed
63
What does a bacteriophage, or phage do?
Takes over a bacteriums genetic machinery and directs it to make more viruses
64
How did the scientist conclude that DNA was the genetic material?
He found radioactivity when the phage DNA contained radioactive phosphorus
65
What are the three parts of a nucleotide?
1. A phosphate group 2. Deoxyribose (a sugar) 3. A nitrogen containing base
66
What are the four DNA bases? If one strand of DNA is AGTC, what is the second strand?
Adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine. TCAG
67
What would you look at with a stereoscope? Compound Microscope? Electron Microscope? Which is the strongest, and which is the weakest?
Compound microscope-small organisms or cross sections of them Stereoscope-mineral, crystal, small organisms, weakest Electron microscope-internal structures, are the strongest of the 3,
