Biology Fall Final Exam

Front

What are the reactants of cellular respiration?

Back

The reactants of cellular respiration are obtained from the products of photosynthesis.

Front

What type of transport is osmosis?

Back

Osmosis is a passive transport.

Front

What does hydrophilic mean?

Back

Hydrophilic means water-loving.

Front

What type of solution is a cell in if it is in a hypertonic solution?

Back

A hypertonic solution has a higher concentration of solutes outside the cell than inside.

Front

What is osmosis?

Back

Osmosis is the movement of water from high concentration to low concentration.

Front

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

The main purpose of cellular respiration is to convert glucose into usable energy (ATP) for the cell.

Front

What is the difference between autotrophs and heterotrophs?

Back

Autotrophs produce their own food through photosynthesis, while heterotrophs consume other organisms for energy.

Front

What is a hypotonic solution?

Back

A hypotonic solution has a lower concentration of solutes compared to the inside of the cell, causing water to enter the cell.

Front

What is a hypertonic solution?

Back

A hypertonic solution has a higher concentration of solutes compared to the inside of the cell, causing water to leave the cell.

Front

Define passive transport.

Back

Passive transport is the movement of substances across a cell membrane without the use of energy.
