Biology Midterm Bonus Review Part 1

Front

What happens to a plant cell that is placed into a hypotonic solution?

Back

It swells due to water entering the cell, causing it to become turgid.

Front

A polypeptide is a sequence of ____________________ held together by a ______________ bond.

Back

A polypeptide is a sequence of amino acids held together by a peptide bond.

Front

What is the 'power plant' of the cell that produces energy?

Back

Mitochondria are the organelles that produce energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration.

Front

Proteins are made of monomers called ___________

Back

Proteins are made of monomers called amino acids.

Front

The light dependent phase occurs in the __________.

Back

The light dependent phase occurs in the Thylakoid Membrane of the chloroplast.

Front

What is the function of mitochondria in a cell?

Back

Mitochondria convert nutrients into energy (ATP) through cellular respiration.

Front

Define hypotonic solution in relation to plant cells.

Back

A hypotonic solution has a lower concentration of solutes compared to the inside of the cell, leading to water influx and cell swelling.

Front

What are the building blocks of proteins?

Back

The building blocks of proteins are amino acids.

Front

What is the role of the Thylakoid Membrane in photosynthesis?

Back

The Thylakoid Membrane is where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur, capturing light energy.

Front

What type of bond connects amino acids in a polypeptide?

Back

A peptide bond connects amino acids in a polypeptide.
