Biology ACP Review Questions

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆ -> CO₂ + H₂O + Energy

Front

What process involves messenger RNA traveling out of the nucleus to ribosomes to assemble a protein?

Back

Translation

Front

What role does the cell membrane play in the model of human red blood cells using eggs?

Back

The cell membrane allows water to enter and leave the cell.

Front

What is the correct equation for photosynthesis?

Back

CO₂ + light + H₂O -> O₂ + Sugar

Front

Why are muscle cells different from nerve cells?

Back

Muscle and nerve cells have the same DNA (same genes) but different genes are turned on.

Front

Define cellular respiration.

Back

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

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in a cell?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis, where mRNA is translated into proteins.

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

Transcription is the process of copying DNA to mRNA, while translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from mRNA.

Front

What is osmosis?

Back

The movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the pigment that absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to drive the process of photosynthesis.
