Biology exam review

QuestionAnswer
what is required for something to be considered a living organism? it must be made of cells
why are viruses not classified as living? they are not made of cells
how do viruses reproduce compared to cells? viruses use host cells to make copies cells divide by cell division
what do living organisms carry out that viruses do not? metabolism
what is found in cells but not viruses? ribosomes
A bacteria pumps extra salt out to keep its inside balance. This is an example of what? homeostasis
what is homeostasis? the ability of living organisms to maintain a stable environment
what are the two characteristics found in all living organisms cells and metabolism
which observation is evident that something is living organelles and perform cellular respiration
which of the following is a micromolecule that stores genetic information nucleic acid
Marcomolecule help speed up chemical reactions in the body proteins
A student want to snack for a quick energy before a race which macromolecule should they choose? carbohydrates
what is the function of lipids? long-term energy
what is the function of carbohydrates? cell membrane structure
What is the function of nucleic acid? immune system support
which macromolecule is made of fatty acids lipid
what is the role of enzymes in digestion ? speed up reactions
why do proteins have different functions in cells? they have different shapes that match specific task
Which process breaks down macromolecules using water? hydrolysis
which organelle controls the cells activities and contains DNA The nucleus
which organelle is responsible for energy production mitochondria
which process moves molecules from high to low concentration without energy diffusion
compare prokaryotes and eukaryotes cells eukaryotes have organelles prokaryotes do not
which organelle helps remove waste from the cell lysosome
which process requires energy to remove substances? endocytosis
what is the main role of the cell membrane? Controls what enters and leaves the cell
which transport method uses protein channels, but no energy facilitated diffusion
if the mitochondria stopped working, what will happen to the cell it will run out of energy
A cell in a hypertonic solution begin to swell. What process is this? Osmosis
During which stage of cell cycle does the cell divide mitosis
Compare asexual and sexual reproduction asexual reproduction, create, identical, offspring, sexual reproduction, create varied off spring
what happens when the cell cycle is not regulated properly cancerous cells may form
which of the following is the longest state of the cell cycle? interphase
why do cells divide when they grow too large to maintain surface area to volume ratio
which organism used binary fission to reproduce? bacterium
what is cell differentiation? cells become specialized for specific functions
what is an advantage of asexual reproduction? fast reproducing
how does mitosis help maintain genetic continuity it produces identical daughter cells
what are reactants of photosynthesis carbon dioxide and water
what are the products of cellular respiration carbon dioxide , water, and atp (energy)
how are photosynthesis and respiration related The products of one are the reactants of the other
ATP converting to ADP represents what Energy released
where does the kerbs cycle occur? mitochondria
which organism in a food web gets the most energy Producer
why does energy decrease at each level of the energy pyramid Energy is lost as heat
how do photosynthesis affect the carbon cycle removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
how does respiration affect the oxygen cycle? uses oxygen and releases carbon dioxide
why are plants and animals interdependent in energy food plants produce oxygen and glucose animals use them in return of carbon dioxide
which biogeochemical cycle involves photosynthesis and cellular respiration carbon cycle
which of the following trophic levels has access to the most energy in the ecosystem Producer
after a community is distributed by a large scale events such as forest fire, a new community is established through which process secondary succession
in an ecosystem, what happens to the atoms of certain chemical elements such as carbon oxygen and nitrogen? they move into and out of living systems
Forest re-growing after fires is an example of what secondary succession
which plant behavior helps it respond to light? Photo trophism
What is an example of a nonrenewable resource? coal
which solution helps reduce greenhouse, gas producing switch to solar energy
what is a mechanical defense in animals? Shell or spines
