Unit 2 Cell Structure and Function Review #2

Front

What is the function of ribosomes attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum?

Back

They synthesize proteins that are destined for the cell membrane or for secretion.

Front

List the stages of mitosis in order.

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase.

Front

How does the concentration of CO2 in water affect photosynthesis?

Back

The higher the CO2 concentration, the greater the rate of photosynthesis.

Front

What provides a source of hydrogen ions during photosynthesis?

Back

Water.

Front

What is the primary goal of cellular respiration?

Back

To make ATP.

Front

Define photosynthesis.

Back

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

Front

What is ATP and why is it important?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes.

Front

What role does the Golgi apparatus play in the cell?

Back

It modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen.

Front

What is the significance of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the pigment that absorbs sunlight, allowing plants to convert light energy into chemical energy.
