Final exam review

Front

In C4 plants, where does the Calvin cycle take place?

Back

The Calvin cycle takes place in the bundle-sheath cells.

Front

What is the primary product of the Calvin cycle that is later converted into glucose?

Back

Glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate.

Front

What type of solution causes a cell to swell due to water intake?

Back

Hypotonic solution.

Front

What is the basic unit of structure and function in the human body?

Back

Cell.

Front

Which organelle is responsible for photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplasts.

Front

What is the function of stomata in plants?

Back

Stomata allow for gas exchange, including the intake of carbon dioxide and the release of oxygen.

Front

What is the role of ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP) in the Calvin cycle?

Back

RuBP acts as a carbon dioxide acceptor in the Calvin cycle.

Front

What is the difference between hypertonic and hypotonic solutions?

Back

Hypertonic solutions have a higher solute concentration than the cell, causing it to shrink, while hypotonic solutions have a lower solute concentration, causing the cell to swell.

Front

What is the primary function of chloroplasts?

Back

Chloroplasts convert light energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis.

Front

Define osmosis.

Back

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