Unit 2 Pretest: Cell Processes & Energy

Front

What is the function of the nucleus in a cell?

Back

The nucleus contains the genetic material (DNA) and controls the cell's activities.

Front

What are the reactants of cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose and oxygen are the reactants of cellular respiration.

Front

What is ATP and its role in cells?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) provides energy for cellular processes.

Front

What occurs during metaphase in cell division?

Back

During metaphase, DNA lines up in the middle of the cell.

Front

What are the results of mitosis?

Back

Mitosis results in two identical cells that are identical to the starting cell.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the role of the endoplasmic reticulum?

Back

The endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of proteins and lipids.

Front

What is the function of the Golgi complex?

Back

The Golgi complex modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or use within the cell.

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?

Back

Mitosis results in two identical cells, while meiosis results in four genetically different cells.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose and oxygen.
