2nd Quarter BATs Review

Front

What is diffusion?

Back

Diffusion is the process by which molecules spread from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration until equilibrium is reached.

Front

What are the reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

The reactants of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is facilitated diffusion?

Back

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

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose to release ATP (energy).

Front

What is osmosis?

Back

Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.

Front

What is active transport?

Back

Active transport is the movement of molecules across a cell membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration, requiring energy.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, used to store and transfer energy for various cellular processes.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The equation for photosynthesis is: 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and produces more ATP, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen and produces less ATP.
