AP Biology: Unit 2 Review (CED)

Front

What are lysosomes?

Back

Membrane-enclosed sacs that contain hydrolytic enzymes used for digestion and waste removal in cells.

Front

Where does ATP synthesis occur during photosynthesis?

Back

In the grana/thylakoid membrane.

Front

How does water move in relation to solute concentration?

Back

Water moves from areas of lower solute concentration to areas of higher solute concentration.

Front

What is the primary function of rough endoplasmic reticulum (Rough ER)?

Back

Rough ER compartmentalizes the cell and is involved in protein synthesis due to the presence of ribosomes.

Front

What is the primary function of smooth endoplasmic reticulum (Smooth ER)?

Back

Smooth ER functions in detoxification and lipid synthesis.

Front

Where do light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place?

Back

In the grana/thylakoid membrane.

Front

What is the role of the Golgi complex?

Back

The Golgi complex modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.

Front

What is the function of mitochondria?

Back

Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, responsible for producing ATP through cellular respiration.

Front

What is the difference between the stroma and the thylakoid membrane?

Back

The stroma is the fluid-filled space surrounding the thylakoids in chloroplasts, while the thylakoid membrane contains the components for the light-dependent reactions.

Front

What is osmosis?

Back

Osmosis is the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.
