Cellular Respiration
Where does glycolysis occur?
In the cytoplasm
What is the equation for photosynthesis?
6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light --> C6H12O6 + 6 O2.
What is a checkpoint (in context of the cell cycle)?
Specific points throughout the cell cycle that can halt the progression of the cell if it detects something is wrong.
There are three checkpoints G1,G2, and M.
____ refers to the presence of a single set of chromosomes in an organism's cells.
haploid
Who is the father of genetics?
Gregor Mendel
What is the final electron acceptor in fermentation?
pyruvate
What part of a plant is responsible for absorbing light energy?
Cholorophyll (pigment molecules)
Which phase of mitosis is when chromosomes are fully separated?
anaphase
How many daughter cells result from meiosis?
4
______ genotypes have two different alleles of a particular gene or genes.
heterozygous
Which of the following processes does NOT create ATP?
a) Glycolysis
b) Kreb Cycle
c) Electron Transport Chain
d) Chemiosmosis
c) Electron Transport Chain
What is the difference in location between light and dark reactions?
Light reactions = within the thylokid disks
Dark reactions = outside the disks in the stroma of the choloroplasts.
What phase does a cell spend a majority of its life in?
Interphase
What are the only cells that can undergo meiosis?
gametes (egg and sperm)
If two homozogous recessive parents have a child what are the chances that child has a recessive genotype.
100%
What donates electrons to the electron transport chain (ETC)?
NADH and FADH2
When exactly is oxygen created in photosynthesis?
In photosystem II, water becomes oxidized which turns it into O2.
Which part of the cell is responsible for separating the the chromosomes?
microtubules
What are the three mechanisms that contribute to genetic variation?
Independent assortment of chromosomes
Crossing over
Random fertilization
A flowers phenotype is part red and white. What is this an example of?
Codominace
How much ATP is made during cellular respiration prior to oxidative phosphorylation?
4 ATP
What is the function of rubisco in the Calvin Cycle?
Fixes (combines) RuBP with CO2 which creates a six-carbon compound that is converted to two three-carbon compounds.
What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell division?
Prokaryotic (bacteria) undergo binary fission.
Eukaryotic (plant/animal) undergo mitosis or meiosis.
What is the difference between prophase1 and prophase 2?
(Synapsis and crossing over in prophase I) Homologous chromosomes physically connect and exchange genetic information in prophase 1.
What is the genotype of O blood?
ii
