Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose and oxygen.

Front

How do the products of photosynthesis interact with cellular respiration?

Back

The products of photosynthesis (glucose and oxygen) are used in cellular respiration to produce energy, while the byproducts of cellular respiration (carbon dioxide and water) are utilized in photosynthesis.

Front

What is the main function of translation in gene expression?

Back

To translate the genetic code into a specific sequence of amino acids.

Front

What mutation occurs when a base is added to a DNA sequence?

Back

Insertion.

Front

What is the main function of photosynthesis?

Back

To convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Front

What are the byproducts of cellular respiration?

Back

Carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is the difference between the lytic and lysogenic cycles of a virus?

Back

The lytic cycle results in the destruction of the host cell, while the lysogenic cycle integrates viral DNA into the host genome and can remain dormant.
