Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What happens to glucose during cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose is broken down to release energy, resulting in a decrease in glucose levels.

Front

What is the role of oxygen in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen is a reactant in cellular respiration that helps to produce ATP by accepting electrons at the end of the electron transport chain.

Front

What is the relationship between carbon dioxide and cellular respiration?

Back

Carbon dioxide is a product of cellular respiration, produced when glucose is metabolized.

Front

What is osmosis?

Back

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.

Front

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

Back

The red blood cell will shrink as water moves out of the cell to balance the solute concentration.

Front

What is calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and its significance to marine organisms?

Back

Calcium carbonate is a compound that marine organisms, like clams, use to build their shells and exoskeletons.

Front

How does increased carbon dioxide in oceans affect marine life?

Back

Increased carbon dioxide leads to the dissolution of calcium carbonate, weakening marine organisms that rely on it for their shells.

Front

What is the function of a contractile vacuole in protists?

Back

A contractile vacuole helps protists expel excess water to maintain osmotic balance and prevent cell bursting.

Front

What is ATP and its role in cellular processes?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes.
