FY23 AMS Semester Exam Review (Ch. 1-3)

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

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

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, converting carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the typical occurrence interval for El Nino events?

Back

El Nino events typically occur every 2-7 years.

Front

What is subduction?

Back

Subduction is the geological process where one tectonic plate moves under another and is forced to sink into the mantle, often forming deep-ocean trenches.

Front

What is a predatory relationship?

Back

A predatory relationship is an interaction where one organism (the predator) hunts and consumes another organism (the prey).

Front

What is tidal range?

Back

Tidal range is the difference in height between high tide and low tide in a particular area.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in plants that absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to facilitate the process of photosynthesis.

Front

What are the main products of cellular respiration?

Back

The main products of cellular respiration are ATP (energy), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the significance of oceanic trenches?

Back

Oceanic trenches are significant geological features formed by subduction, playing a crucial role in the recycling of the Earth's crust and influencing ocean currents.

Front

What is the difference between conduction and convection?

Back

Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact, while convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases).
