Virola Bio EOC Review semester one

Front

What is active transport?

Back

Active transport is the process by which molecules move from low to high concentration, requiring energy input.

Front

Does photosynthesis store energy?

Back

True, photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Front

What is exocytosis?

Back

Exocytosis is the process by which large molecules exit a cell.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process that harvests electrons from carbon compounds to produce energy.

Front

What are the products of cellular respiration?

Back

The products of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide, water, and energy.

Front

What is facilitated diffusion?

Back

Facilitated diffusion is the process of passive transport of molecules across a cell membrane via specific transmembrane proteins.

Front

What is the role of mitochondria in cellular respiration?

Back

Mitochondria are the organelles where cellular respiration occurs, producing ATP from glucose.

Front

What is the difference between endocytosis and exocytosis?

Back

Endocytosis is the process of taking substances into a cell, while exocytosis is the process of expelling substances from a cell.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, used to power various cellular processes.
