Biology Semester Exam Review Part 2

Front

What is a Control Group?

Back

The Control Group is the group in an experiment that remains unchanged and is used as a benchmark to measure how the other tested subjects do.

Front

What are enzymes?

Back

Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts in biochemical reactions, speeding up the reactions without being consumed in the process.

Front

How many ATP are produced in aerobic respiration?

Back

36 ATP are produced in aerobic respiration.

Front

What is the purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

The purpose of cellular respiration is to produce energy for the cell.

Front

What is the goal of Cellular Respiration?

Back

The goal of Cellular Respiration is to make ATP.

Front

Define aerobic respiration.

Back

Aerobic respiration is a process that requires oxygen to convert glucose into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and produces more ATP (36 ATP), while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen and produces less ATP (2 ATP).

Front

What is ATP?

Back

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

Front

What role do enzymes play in biological reactions?

Back

Enzymes lower the activation energy required for reactions, allowing them to occur more quickly and efficiently.

Front

What is the relationship between cellular respiration and photosynthesis?

Back

Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are interconnected processes; photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, while cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen to produce energy.
