AP Biology: Unit 2 Review (CED)

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

What type of transport requires energy input?

Back

Active transport, such as a charged ion moving against its concentration gradient.

Front

Where do light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur?

Back

In the grana/thylakoid membrane.

Front

Where does ATP synthesis occur during photosynthesis?

Back

In the grana/thylakoid membrane.

Front

What is the function of vacuoles in plant cells?

Back

Vacuoles are responsible for storage and release of macromolecules and cellular waste products, and they aid in turgor.

Front

What is the role of lysosomes in a cell?

Back

Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris.

Front

What is the difference between passive and active transport?

Back

Passive transport does not require energy and moves substances down their concentration gradient, while active transport requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient.

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 role of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy.
