Bio Honors Final
just some cards to help people study for their bio finals coming up <3
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the balanced equation for cellular respiration? | C6H12O6 + 6O2 ----> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP |
| Which is the smallest: prokaryote, eukaryote, bacteria, or an organelle? | An organelle |
| What is the function of the cytoskeleton? | Helps the cell keep its shape |
| What is not found in/on the nucleus? | Cytoplasm |
| What does ATP stand for? | Adenosine Triphosphate |
| What moves the cell and provides support for the cell? | Cytoskeleton (microtubules and microfilaments) |
| What is the balanced equation for photosynthesis? | 6CO2 + 6H2O ----> C6H12O6 + 6O2 |
| Where do Light Dependent Reactions occur? | Thylakoid Membrane |
| Which organelle breaks down/digests things into small particles the cell can use? | Lysosome |
| What are the two main stages of photosynthesis? | Light Dependent and Light Independent Reactions |
| What is diffusion? | Movement across a membrane without help or assistance |
| Where do Light Independent Reactions occur? | Stroma |
| What is the function of a vacuole? | Stores materials such as water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates |
| What is the function of the Smooth ER? | Processes and creates fats and lipids |
| Which process produces more ATP?: Cellular respiration or fermentation? (And by how much?) | Cellular respiration, by 36 molecules of ATP |
| In which organelle does cellular respiration take place? | Mitochondria |
| What does osmosis cause? | Water to enter the cell |
| Definition of Isotonic? | Has the SAME concentration of solutes as the cell |
| Definition of Hypotonic? | A solution that has a LOWER concentration of dissolved particles than the cell |
| When oxygen is absent, what process takes over so glycolysis can continue? | Fermentation |
| What is Facilitated Transport? | Movement through the membrane through a protein tunnel |
| What is osmosis? | The diffusion of water across a membrane |
| What is the definition of Active Transport? | Movement across a membrane with help from a transport protein, requires energy |
| What is the function of a ribosome? | Makes proteins using instructions from the nucleus |
| What is the name of the structure where CO2 enters and O2 escapes from the leaves of plants? | Stomata |
| What is the function of the chloroplast? | Carries out photosynthesis which converts solar energy into glucose |
| What is the cytoplasm? | The jelly-like substance that supports the organelles |
| What are the three laws of Cell Theory? | 1. All organisms are made of one or more cells 2. All existing cells are made by other living cells 3. Cells are the most basic unit of life |
| What organelle controls the cell's activities and stores genetic material? | Nucleus |
| What is the difference between a Prokaryote and a Eukaryote? | Whether it has a nucleus or not (Prokaryote -- no nucleus, Eukaryote -- nucleus) |
| What is the function of the cell membrane? | Regulates what comes into and out of the cell |
| What is Exocytosis? | Moves things out of the cell |
| What is Endocytosis? | Moves things into the cell |
| What is the function of Centrioles? | Divides DNA and organelles during cellular division |
| Definition of Hypertonic? | a solution that has a HIGHER concentration of dissolved particles than the cell |
| What is the function of the Golgi Apparatus? | Modifies, sorts, packages, and transports proteins and other materials |
| What is an example of a Prokaryote? | Bacteria |
| What would you not find in an animal cell? | Chloroplast |
| What is the thin flexible barrier around the cell called? | Cell Membrane |
| In which organelle does Photosynthesis take place? | Chloroplast |
