AP Bio: Unit 2 Review

Front

What are the main components of the mitochondria?

Back

The main components of the mitochondria include the outer membrane, inner membrane, matrix, and mitochondrial DNA.

Front

What type of solution do animal cells prefer for homeostasis?

Back

Animal cells prefer isotonic solutions for homeostasis.

Front

What type of solution do plant cells prefer for homeostasis?

Back

Plant cells prefer hypotonic solutions for homeostasis.

Front

What is facilitated diffusion?

Back

Facilitated diffusion is the process of diffusion with the help of transport proteins.

Front

What cellular structure is used to transport proteins from the ribosome to the Golgi complex?

Back

The endoplasmic reticulum is used to transport proteins from the ribosome to the Golgi complex.

Front

What is the function of the cristae in the mitochondria?

Back

Cristae increase the surface area for chemical reactions, particularly those involved in ATP production.

Front

Define hypertonic solution.

Back

A hypertonic solution has a higher concentration of solutes compared to another solution, leading to water moving out of cells.

Front

Define hypotonic solution.

Back

A hypotonic solution has a lower concentration of solutes compared to another solution, leading to water moving into cells.

Front

What is the role of the Golgi complex in a cell?

Back

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

Front

What is the primary function of the mitochondria?

Back

The primary function of the mitochondria is to produce ATP through cellular respiration.
