PMA Q2 Review 24-25

Front

What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

Anaerobic respiration is a process by which cells generate energy without oxygen, resulting in the production of a small amount of ATP and byproducts like lactic acid or ethanol.

Front

What ethical concerns arise from genetic testing?

Back

Ethical concerns include the potential misuse of genetic information for discrimination in health insurance or employment, highlighting the importance of values in making ethical decisions.

Front

What does Bromothymol blue indicate?

Back

Bromothymol blue is a pH indicator that turns blue in the presence of oxygen, indicating that photosynthesis is occurring.

Front

Why is gene insertion into human DNA limited?

Back

Gene insertion is limited due to ethical questions surrounding the implications of altering human DNA with foreign genes.

Front

What is dephosphorylation?

Back

Dephosphorylation is the removal of a phosphate group from ATP, releasing energy for cellular processes.

Front

What happens when ADP binds to a phosphate?

Back

When ADP binds to a phosphate, it forms ATP, storing chemical energy in the bonds between atoms.

Front

What is the role of ATP in cellular processes?

Back

ATP serves as the primary energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various biochemical reactions.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and produces more ATP, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen and produces less ATP.

Front

What is the significance of photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy, producing oxygen and glucose.

Front

What are the byproducts of anaerobic respiration?

Back

The byproducts of anaerobic respiration can include lactic acid in animals and ethanol and carbon dioxide in yeast.
