Biology EOC Review 1

Front

What is the effect of increased atmospheric carbon dioxide on marine organisms?

Back

Increased atmospheric carbon dioxide leads to more CO2 dissolving in oceans, which causes calcium carbonate (CaCO3) to dissolve. This weakens marine organisms like clams, making it difficult for them to produce and maintain their shells.

Front

What are the products of the light reactions of photosynthesis?

Back

The products of the light reactions of photosynthesis are NADPH and ATP.

Front

What happens when a phosphate group is added to ADP to form ATP?

Back

Adding a phosphate group to ADP stores energy, converting it into ATP.

Front

What gas is produced by freshwater plants during photosynthesis when exposed to light?

Back

Bubbles of oxygen are produced as a result of photosynthesis.

Front

What happens to a red blood cell in a hypertonic solution?

Back

The red blood cell will shrink from losing water molecules.

Front

Define photosynthesis.

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose, using carbon dioxide and water.

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

Explain the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis.

Back

Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in plants that absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, which is essential for photosynthesis.

Front

What is the significance of ATP in cellular processes?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the primary energy carrier in cells, providing energy for various biological processes.

Front

What is a hypertonic solution?

Back

A hypertonic solution has a higher concentration of solutes compared to another solution, leading to water moving out of cells.
