Review for Test on Mitosis, Cell. Resp., and Photosynthesis

Front

What is aerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration is a process that uses oxygen to convert glucose into ATP energy, typically occurring during activities like an hour-long Zumba class.

Front

What does cellular respiration turn sugar into?

Back

Cellular respiration turns sugar into ATP energy, which is used by cells for various functions.

Front

During which phase of the cell cycle is DNA replicated?

Back

DNA is replicated during the S phase of the cell cycle.

Front

What are the two resulting cells in mitosis?

Back

The two resulting cells in mitosis are identical to the starting cell and identical to each other.

Front

During which stage of the cell cycle does the nucleus divide?

Back

The nucleus divides during the Mitosis stage of the cell cycle.

Front

What is the main purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

The main purpose of photosynthesis is to convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

The main products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the role of ATP in cellular respiration?

Back

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

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.

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
