Which other molecule is a product of this process?

• DNA

• RNA

• C₆H₁₂O6

• ATP

Which molecule synthesized by plants is a major source of energy for cellular processes in both plants and animals?

• Wax

• Nucleic Acid

• Glucose

• Chlorophyll

Diatoms are one of the most common types of phytoplankton in marine habitats. Like plants, diatoms contain chlorophyll and produce glucose from which of the following?

• O₂ and ATP

• CO₂ and O₂

• ATP and H₂O

• CO₂ and H₂O

Which statement best describes the relationship between the products of photosynthesis and the reactants in cellular respiration?

• The products of photosynthesis serve as the reactants in cellular respiration to provide chemical energy

• The products of photosynthesis combine with the reactants in cellular respiration to remove ATP from cells.

• The products of photosynthesis inhibit the reactants in cellular respiration in the presence of light.

• The products of photosynthesis change the structure of the reactants in cellular respiration in the presence of light.

When a cell lose their ability to regulate the cell cycle, they can divide at an accelerated rate and form a mass of cells. This mass of cells is referred to as -

• a tumor

• an embryo

• a gland

• an organ

After undergoing mitosis a normal, human somatic cell contains how many chromosomes?

• 22

• 23

• 45

• 46

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration both involve the use and release of gases. Which statement correctly identifies the role of gases in the two processes?

• Photosynthesis and cellular respiration both use carbon dioxide and release oxygen.

• Photosynthesis and cellular respiration both use oxygen and release carbon dioxide

• Cellular respiration uses oxygen and releases carbon dioxide, while photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and releases oxygen.

• Cellular respiration uses carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, while photosynthesis uses oxygen releases carbon dioxide

Which statement accurately describes the energy needs for photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

• Solar energy is needed for cellular respiration but not for photosynthesis.

• Chemical energy in the form of glucose is needed for both cellular respiration and photosynthesis.

• Chemical energy in the form of glucose is needed for photosynthesis, and solar energy is needed for cellular respiration

• Solar energy is needed for photosynthesis, and chemical energy in the form of glucose is needed for cellular respiration.

One difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes is that—

• Nucleic acids are found only in prokaryotes

• Mitochondria are found in larger quantities in eukaryotes

• Golgi vesicles are found only in prokaryotes

• Prokaryotes have no nuclear membrane

Photosynthesis is the process by which—

• The potential energy of glucose is transferred to ATP molecules

• Glucose is gradually broken down to form lactic acid or alcohol

• Two glucose molecules combine to form maltose and water

• Light energy is converted into the chemical energy of glucose
