Sem 1 Final Review Biology 23-24

Front

What are the reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

The reactants of photosynthesis are the products of cellular respiration, specifically carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).

Front

What are polymers made up of?

Back

All polymers, such as starch, are made up of monomers.

Front

What does correlation not always imply?

Back

Correlation does not always imply causation; just because two variables are correlated does not mean one causes the other.

Front

How does energy flow in ecosystems?

Back

Energy flows in one direction through ecosystems, from producers to consumers.

Front

What is the term for gradual changes in an ecosystem after a disturbance?

Back

The general term for these gradual changes over time is succession.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the difference between a monomer and a polymer?

Back

A monomer is a single building block molecule, while a polymer is a large molecule made up of many monomers linked together.

Front

What is a climax community?

Back

A climax community is a stable and mature ecological community that has reached a final stage of ecological succession.

Front

What is eutrophication?

Back

Eutrophication is the process by which a body of water becomes overly enriched with nutrients, leading to excessive growth of algae.
