1st Semester Biology Interim Review

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen and glucose.

Front

Which macromolecule stores energy, insulates us, and makes up the cell membrane?

Back

Lipids.

Front

In which way are photosynthesis and cellular respiration different?

Back

Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide, while cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide.

Front

What is the difference between ATP and ADP?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) has three phosphate groups, while ADP (adenosine diphosphate) has two phosphate groups.

Front

How does temperature affect enzyme activity?

Back

Temperature can influence the action of an enzyme.

Front

What is 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 cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What are macromolecules?

Back

Macromolecules are large, complex molecules that are essential to biological processes, including proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids.

Front

What role do lipids play in the body?

Back

Lipids store energy, provide insulation, and make up cell membranes.

Front

What is the function of ATP in cells?

Back

ATP serves as the primary energy carrier in cells.
