1st Semester Biology Interim Review

Front

What is facilitated diffusion?

Back

Facilitated diffusion is a process of passive transport that allows substances to cross membranes with the assistance of special proteins called transport proteins.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

The products of photosynthesis are oxygen and glucose.

Front

True or False: As organisms increase in size, the surface area-to-volume ratio of their cells decreases.

Back

True.

Front

What is the difference between ATP and ADP?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) has three phosphate groups, while ADP (adenosine diphosphate) has two phosphate groups.

Front

What is created during fermentation?

Back

Lactic acid is created during fermentation.

Front

Define diffusion.

Back

Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

Front

What is osmosis?

Back

Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane.

Front

What role do chloroplasts play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplasts are the organelles in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs, converting light energy into chemical energy.

Front

What is the function of mitochondria?

Back

Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, responsible for producing ATP through cellular respiration.

Front

Define cellular respiration.

Back

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