Biology EOC Review 1

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6 H2O + 6 CO2

Front

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

Back

The red blood cell will shrink from losing water molecules.

Front

What happens to a freshwater plant cell in saltwater?

Back

The cells will shrink because water will move out of them.

Front

What is the primary function of the contractile vacuole in a Paramecium?

Back

To expel excess water and maintain osmotic balance.

Front

What are the products of the light reactions of photosynthesis?

Back

NADPH and ATP

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 role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the blue and red wavelengths, to drive the photosynthesis process.

Front

What is a hypertonic solution?

Back

A solution with a higher concentration of solutes compared to another solution.

Front

What is the main purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

To convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen.
