AP Biology Midterm Final Review Game

Front

What happens to red blood cells when distilled water is injected into the veins?

Back

The red blood cells will swell because the water is hypotonic to the cells.

Front

What enzyme do C4 plants use to initially fix CO2?

Back

PEP carboxylase.

Front

Where does oxidative phosphorylation occur in cellular respiration?

Back

In the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Front

What does the presence of DNA and ribosomes in mitochondria suggest?

Back

An ancestral cell most likely engulfed an aerobic prokaryote in a relationship that proved beneficial for both cells.

Front

Why is a control group essential in an experiment?

Back

The control group is needed to compare results.

Front

Define hypotonic solution.

Back

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

Front

What is photorespiration?

Back

A process in plants where oxygen is taken up and carbon dioxide is released, often occurring when CO2 levels are low.

Front

What is the Calvin cycle?

Back

A series of biochemical reactions in photosynthesis that convert CO2 into glucose.

Front

Explain the role of cristae in mitochondria.

Back

Cristae increase the surface area for chemical reactions, particularly ATP production.

Front

What is the primary function of mitochondria?

Back

To produce ATP through cellular respiration.
