Biology- Semester 1 review-25

Front

What is the diffusion of water through a permeable membrane called?

Back

Osmosis

Front

Which organelles modify proteins and transport them out of the cell?

Back

Golgi Apparatus and Endoplasmic Reticulum

Front

What is the chemical equation of cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6H2O + 6CO2 + ATP

Front

Where does lactic acid fermentation occur?

Back

Muscle Cells

Front

What is the chemical equation of photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight + 6H2O + 6CO2 --> C6H12O6 + 6O2

Front

Define osmosis.

Back

The movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.

Front

What is the function of the Golgi Apparatus?

Back

To modify, sort, and package proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.

Front

What is the role of the Endoplasmic Reticulum?

Back

To synthesize proteins (rough ER) and lipids (smooth ER), and to transport materials within the cell.

Front

What is ATP and its role in cellular respiration?

Back

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the energy currency of the cell, produced during cellular respiration.

Front

What is fermentation?

Back

A metabolic process that converts sugar to acids, gases, or alcohol in the absence of oxygen.
