Front

What is a product of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose is a product of photosynthesis.

Front

What is the role of an effector in maintaining homeostasis?

Back

An effector carries out a response to restore internal conditions.

Front

What does cellular respiration release energy from?

Back

Cellular respiration releases energy by breaking down carbohydrates.

Front

What does homeostasis most directly relate to?

Back

Homeostasis most directly relates to stability.

Front

What is the process called when a neuron releases neurotransmitters?

Back

The process is called exocytosis, which is an example of active transport.

Front

Define photosynthesis.

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is homeostasis?

Back

Homeostasis is the ability of an organism to maintain stable internal conditions despite changes in the external environment.

Front

What is the function of a control center in homeostasis?

Back

The control center compares current conditions with ideal values for those conditions.

Front

What are neurotransmitters?

Back

Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that transmit signals across a synapse from one neuron to another.

Front

What is active transport?

Back

Active transport is the movement of molecules across a cell membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration, requiring energy.
