Biology Semester 1 Review

Front

What is the main product of Cellular Respiration?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the usable energy produced from the energy in glucose.

Front

What is the chemical formula for glucose?

Back

C6H12O6 is the chemical formula for glucose.

Front

What is the equation for Photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light → 6O2 + C6H12O6 is the correct equation for photosynthesis.

Front

What are organisms that cannot make their own food called?

Back

Heterotrophs are organisms that must obtain energy from external sources.

Front

Which type of organisms are always at the bottom of an energy pyramid?

Back

Producers are always located at the bottom of an energy pyramid.

Front

What is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the pigment that absorbs light energy for photosynthesis.

Front

What is the difference between autotrophs and heterotrophs?

Back

Autotrophs can produce their own food, while heterotrophs must consume other organisms for energy.

Front

What is the byproduct of cellular respiration?

Back

The byproducts of cellular respiration include carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).

Front

What is the primary function of ATP in cells?

Back

ATP serves as the main energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes.
