photosynthesis
where does photosynthesis happen?
Chloroplast
What is the largest internal organ in the human body?
The liver.
What is a cell?
A cell is the basic unit of life, the smallest unit of structure and function in all living organisms.
What are the stages of mitosis?
prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
What is the function of DNA in cells?
DNA contains the genetic instructions that control cell activity, including the production of proteins.
What are the products of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?
ATP and NADPH
Where are red blood cells formed?
In bone marrow.
What is the role of ribosomes?
Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis.
What happens during prophase?
Chromosomes condense, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and the spindles forms.
What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and other organelles enclosed by membranes.
what is the equation for photosynthesis?
6CO2+6H2O+light energy→C6H12O6+6O2
What organ controls blood sugar levels?
The pancreas.
What is the function of the Golgi apparatus?
The Golgi apparatus processes and packages proteins and lipids.
What are sister chromatids?
Sister chromatids are two identical copies of a chromosome joined at the centromere.
Describe the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
Aerobic respiration requires oxygen to produce energy (ATP) from glucose. Anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen, producing less ATP and often producing byproducts like lactic acid or ethanol.
What is the primary purpose of the light-dependent reactions?
What is the heaviest organ in the human body?
The liver is the heaviest organ in the human body.
What is mitosis?
Mitosis is the process of cell division that produces two identical daughter cells.
What is the purpose of the spindle fibers?
Spindle fibers are structures that help move chromosomes during mitosis.
What are the different types of tissues in the human body?
epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissue.
Where does the Calvin cycle take place?
What is the heaviest organ in the human body?
The liver is the heaviest organ in the human body.
What is meiosis?
Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces four non-identical daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
What is cytokinesis?
Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm and cell membrane after mitosis, resulting in two separate cells.
What is the role of the immune system?
protects the body from pathogens, such as bacteria and viruses, through various defense mechanisms.
