Biology Assessment (Unit 1)

Front

What is a macromolecule?

Back

A large molecule commonly found in living organisms, such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids.

Front

What is the difference between biotic and abiotic factors?

Back

Biotic factors are living components of an ecosystem (e.g., plants, animals), while abiotic factors are non-living components (e.g., rocks, water, temperature).

Front

How does increased carbon dioxide affect photosynthesis?

Back

The rate of photosynthesis would increase, assuming other conditions (light, water) are optimal.

Front

Why is cellular respiration important for living organisms?

Back

It provides energy necessary for cellular functions and activities.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, which are used in cellular respiration.

Front

Define photosynthesis.

Back

The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll, converting carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose and oxygen.

Front

What are the main reactants of cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose and oxygen.

Front

What role do chloroplasts play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplasts are the organelles where photosynthesis occurs, containing chlorophyll that captures sunlight.
