Units 1,2, & 3 Vocab Review

What is the purpose of photosynthesis?

• To break down glucose for energy

• To convert solar energy into chemical energy (glucose)

• To produce ATP directly

• To absorb oxygen for respiration

What is the function of cellular respiration?

• To create glucose for the plant

• To store solar energy

• To convert glucose into ATP (usable energy)

• To remove waste from the body

What is the role of enzymes in cellular processes?

• They slow down reactions to conserve energy

• They speed up chemical reactions by lowering activation energy

• They store genetic information for the cell

• They break down DNA for energy

Which process allows organisms to grow by creating new cells?

• Photosynthesis

• Mitosis

• Osmosis

• Fermentation

What is the main purpose of the cell cycle?

• To create energy

• To allow cells to grow and divide

• To break down waste

• To transport oxygen

What is the process in which cells become specialized for different functions?

• Mitosis

• Cell differentiation

• Photosynthesis

• DNA replication

How can disruptions in the cell cycle lead to disease?

• They can prevent oxygen from entering cells

• They can cause uncontrolled cell division, leading to cancer

• They can stop DNA from functioning

• They make cells lose their shape

Which of the following is found in viruses but not in cells?

• Nucleus

• Cytoplasm

• Capsid

• Mitochondria

How do viruses reproduce?

• They divide by mitosis

• They infect host cells and use their machinery to replicate

• They grow on their own until they split in half

• They perform binary fission like bacteria

Which of the following is a key difference between viruses and cells?

• Viruses can produce their own energy

• Viruses do not have genetic material

• Viruses cannot reproduce without a host

• Viruses have organelles
