Semester 1 Biology Final Review

Front

What is the age structure diagram used for?

Back

It is used to represent the distribution of various age groups in a population, which helps to understand population growth or decline.

Front

Which country is NOT experiencing population growth according to age structure diagrams?

Back

Front

What is aerobic respiration?

Back

A process that requires oxygen to convert glucose into energy.

Front

What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

A process that occurs when there is not enough oxygen available, allowing cells to produce energy without oxygen.

Front

Why do our bodies switch to anaerobic respiration during intense exercise?

Back

Because there is not enough oxygen available.

Front

What is the greenhouse effect?

Back

The natural process by which certain gases in the Earth's atmosphere trap heat, keeping the planet warm.

Front

What would happen to Earth without the natural greenhouse effect?

Back

It would be much colder.

Front

What is an organ system?

Back

A group of organs that work together to perform specific functions for an organism.

Front

What is an example of an organic compound?

Back

C6H12O6 (glucose).

Front

What is the difference between organic and inorganic compounds?

Back

Organic compounds contain carbon and are typically associated with living organisms, while inorganic compounds do not primarily contain carbon.
