Biology 1 Honors Midterm Exam Review

Front

What process do muscle cells undergo during intense exercise that leads to soreness?

Back

Anaerobic respiration, which produces lactic acid.

Front

What two substances do plant cells take in during photosynthesis to make their own food?

Back

Carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is the overall reaction of cellular respiration?

Back

It releases energy and is exothermic.

Front

Which macromolecule does the body digest first for energy?

Back

Carbohydrates.

Front

What is the direct source of energy for processes in our body?

Back

ATP.

Front

Define anaerobic respiration.

Back

A type of respiration that occurs without oxygen, resulting in the production of energy and lactic acid.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is the role of ATP in cellular processes?

Back

ATP serves as the primary energy carrier in cells.

Front

What are macromolecules?

Back

Large molecules essential for life, including carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.

Front

Explain the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration.

Back

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