Question
Answer
What do plant cells have that animal cells don't?   Cell wall, vacuole, and chloroplasts  
🗑
What is a cell wall in a plant cell made from?   cellulose  
🗑
what does the vacuole contain?   a weak solution of sugar and salts  
🗑
what are chloroplasts for?   photosynthesis  
🗑
what is different about a bacteria?   they have no nucleus or mitochondria  
🗑
what do bacteria have instead of a nucleus?   they have a circular molecule of dna floating around the cytoplasm  
🗑
what are enzymes?   biological catalysts  
🗑
what happens to an enzyme in too hot conditions?   the bonds holding the enzyme together will break so that the active site changes shape and so the substrate will not fit- denaturing  
🗑
what happens to an enzyme when the pH is too high or too low?   it interferes with the bonds holding the enzyme together, changing the active site- denaturing  
🗑
what is respiration?   a series of chemical reactions that release energy by breaking down large food molecules  
🗑
what is the energy from respiration used for?   movement, active transport and synthesis of large molecules  
🗑
what is the symbol of equation for aerobic respiration?   glucose + oxygen - carbon dioxide + water (+ energy)  
🗑
how does aerobic respiration compare to anaerobic in terms of energy released?   aerobic respiration releases more energy per glucose molecule  
🗑
where does anaerobic respiration take place?   animal cells, plant cells, bacterial cells  
🗑
when might you use anaerobic respiration?   vigorous exercise when your body can't supply enough oxygen to your muscle cells  
🗑
when might a plant use anaerobic respiration?   in waterlogged soil where the roots have no oxygen  
🗑
when might bacteria cells use anaerobic respiration?   in wounds under the skin where there is little oxygen  
🗑
what can anaerobic respiration produce in animals?   lactic acid  
🗑
what does anaerobic respiration produce in plant cells and yeast?   ethanol and carbon dioxide  
🗑
what is fermentation?   when microorganisms break down sugars into other products by anaerobic respiration  
🗑
what is fermentation used for?   Biogas, bread making and alcohol  
🗑
how is biogas made?   fermentation of carbohydrates to produce methane and carbon dioxide  
🗑
how does bread rise?   yeast ferment carbohydrates releasing carbon dioxide, causing the read to rise  
🗑
how is alcohol made?   yeast ferments sugar to form ethanol  
🗑
where does photosynthesis occur?   the cells of the green parts of plants and some microorganisms such as phytoplankton  
🗑
why does photosynthesis only happen if plants are green?   it requires chlorophyl, which absorbs sunlight and allows the energy to used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose  
🗑
what is the equation for photosynthesis?   carbon dioxide + water - glucose + oxygen  
🗑
how do plants use glucose?   respiration, growth, and energy stores  
🗑
how is glucose used for plant growth?   glucose is converted into cellulose, or combined with nitrogen to make amino acids for proteins, or to help make cholorphyll  
🗑
how is glucose used for plant energy stores?   glucose is stored as starch for times when photosynthesis rate is slower, like in winter  
🗑
what are the three factors that affect photosynthesis?   light, carbon dioxide, and water  
🗑
how does light affect the rate of photosynthesis?   the rate of photosynthesis will only increase to the optimum rate, when it no longer is a limiting factor  
🗑
how does carbon dioxide affect the rate of photosynthesis?   the rate of photosynthesis will only increase to the optimum rate, when it is no longer a limiting factor  
🗑
how does temperature affect rate of photosynthesis?   too low temperatures will slow down the enzymes, and too hot will denature the enzymes needed for photosynthesis, usually about 45degrees C  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
