2023-24 Biology Quarter 2 Benchmark

Front

What is the main risk associated with excessive use of tanning beds?

Back

Exposure to radiation emitted by tanning beds can cause skin cancer due to mutations in the genetic material.

Front

What is the primary product of cellular respiration that provides energy for cell work?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the chemical energy produced from the breakdown of glucose.

Front

How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration interrelated?

Back

Carbon dioxide and water released by cellular respiration are used in photosynthesis.

Front

What process does not cause inheritable genetic variations in organisms?

Back

New genetic combinations arising from mitosis do not cause inheritable genetic variations.

Front

What is the correct chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What role do mitochondria play in cellular respiration?

Back

Mitochondria are the organelles where cellular respiration occurs, converting glucose into ATP.

Front

What is a mutation?

Back

A mutation is a change in the DNA sequence that can lead to changes in protein function and can be inherited.

Front

What is the significance of ATP in biological systems?

Back

ATP serves as the primary energy carrier in cells, fueling various biological processes.
