Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
This organelle performs photosynthesis
What is the chloroplast
This is a carbon sink
What is: something that absorbs more carbon than it releases
Two types of cells
What are: Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic
Gene that helps fix errors in cell division and checks for cancer.
What is p53?
This is an allele
What is: different version of the same gene.
This is the name of the energy made after completing Cellular Respiration
What is ATP?
Example of a carbon sink
What are: forests, oceans, soil, peat, etc (possible other answers)
One difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
Possible answers can include:
Pro- no nucleus and has unbound organelles, simple in structure, unicellular
Eu - contains a nucleus that holds DNA, complex, multicellular
Purpose of the cell cycle
What is: growth and repair of cells
This is how someone gets a recessive trait.
What is: both parents give the offspring recessive alleles for that gene.
This is the relationship between the amount of light and photosynthesis
What is: the more light, the more energy a producer receives to do photosynthesis. This means they will be able to produce more oxygen.
This is how photosynthesis helps with climate change.
What is: producers take in carbon from the atmosphere and turn it into oxygen for other organisms to use.
Molecule that all organisms/cells have; contains genetic information
What is DNA?
DNA must do this during the S phase, and why.
What is: replicate so each new cell has a copy of DNA.
Difference between genotype and phenotype
What is:
Genotype: the combination of alleles that you inherit
Phenotype: the way it physically presents
This explains how photosynthesis and cellular respiration are connected.
What is: the products of one are the reactants of the other; they cycle matter/energy. They are inverse of each other
This is why zombie fires release lots of carbon into the atmosphere
What is: peat is made up of dense organic material that stores a lot of carbon. When it is burned, the carbon is released in massive quantities into the atmosphere.
Process that makes more proteins for the organism.
What is protein synthesis?
What is: false. Different cells go through at different times/speeds based on the need of the cell
A heterozygous flower has genotype Aa and appears white. The color white is (dominant or recessive) and why
What is: dominant because it appears when the allele combination is heterozygous.
This is the relationship between temperature and decomposition rates in yeast.
What is: the increase in temperature increases the rate of decomposition via cellular respiration. The decomposers, such as yeast, are able to increase their metabolism, consume more sugar and produce more CO2.
This is how limiting deforestation may reduce climate change
What is: limiting deforestation will allow more trees to be present to absorb carbon from the atmosphere, which can help reduce temperatures on Earth over time. Also, deforestation causes a release of CO2 when cutting trees down, so stopping would also reduce the amount of CO2 going into the atmosphere.
Reason why unicellular organisms (prokaryotes) do not get cancer
What is: cancer is a disease of multicellular organisms as multicellular organisms go through cell division to make more cells for the same organism
Process that cells go through to create non-identical cells, as a result of sperm fertilizing an egg.
What is: meiosis
Reason why offspring and siblings do not inherit exactly the same DNA combinations from their parents, such as having a healthy p53 gene.
What is: crossing over
