Biology Semester 1 Review Part 2

Front

What process do all eukaryotes use to convert energy from food into ATP?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process used by all eukaryotes to convert energy from food into ATP.

Front

What is an example of a producer in an ecosystem?

Back

Algae are an example of a producer, as they can perform photosynthesis to create energy.

Front

What is the structure of a protein?

Back

A protein is described as a folded chain of amino acids.

Front

What binds to the active site of an enzyme?

Back

The substrate binds to the active site of an enzyme.

Front

What is a non-living factor that affects an ecosystem?

Back

An abiotic factor is a non-living factor that affects an ecosystem.

Front

Define cellular respiration.

Back

Cellular respiration is the metabolic process by which cells convert food into energy (ATP) using oxygen.

Front

What role do producers play in a food web?

Back

Producers, like plants and algae, create energy through photosynthesis, forming the base of the food web.

Front

What are amino acids?

Back

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, linked together in a specific sequence.

Front

What is the function of enzymes in biological reactions?

Back

Enzymes act as catalysts to speed up chemical reactions in biological processes.

Front

What is the difference between biotic and abiotic factors?

Back

Biotic factors are living components of an ecosystem, while abiotic factors are non-living components.
