Meiosis
Which phase of meiosis rebuilds the nuclear envelopes around the separated homologous chromosomes
Telophase 1
In mitosis, what is the name for the structure created by the centrioles that helps to arrange chromosomes
Spindle
Which process connects glycolysis and the citric acid cycle?
acetyl CoA formation
Which process is speeded up by rubisco during the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis?
carbon fixation
Which events take place in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?
Light energy is captured by plants; light energy is converted to chemical energy.
Meiosis occurs in a series of different phases and creates genetically unique reproductive cells. Which process helps make meiotic cells genetically different and occurs during prophase I, but not during prophase II?
crossing over
How does interphase prepare cells for mitosis?
growth of cell and replication of DNA
After several miles of running and sprinting in intervals, the runner’s muscles ache and feel fatigued. Which is the best explanation for what has occurred?
The runner's muscles have accumulated lactic acid.
At which point is G3P removed from the Calvin cycle to be used in the production of carbohydrates?
immediately after reduction
Which specific process in the light-dependent reactions produces oxygen and hydrogen ions?
the splitting of water
Which correctly describes crossing over?
the process whereby non-sister chromatids exchange genetic material
It is crucial that the process of mitosis is error free. This is because otherwise healthy cells can become...
cancer cells.
What role does cellular respiration play in the carbon cycle?
It releases CO2 to the atmosphere during acetyl CoA formation.
In what way are the light-dependent and light-independent reactions of photosynthesis similar?
Both occur in the chloroplast.
To which substance does ferredoxin transfer an electron?
NADP+
What is the end result of meiosis?
four different daughter cells
How has the study of mitosis affected scientists’ knowledge of cancer?
It led to an understanding of how cancer cells divide so rapidly.
After Frida stops exercising, she continues to breathe heavily. What is most likely occurring in her body?
Strenuous exercise has caused her body to be in oxygen debt, and she is breathing hard while lactate is transported to the liver. This is a result of anaerobic respiration.
Stella wants to test the hypothesis “If carbon dioxide levels increase, the growth rate of sunflowers will increase.” She places five young sunflower plants into similar containers and sets up pumps that release different amounts of carbon dioxide into each container. She plans to measure the daily height of the plants for two weeks and graph the data. Which additional considerations would produce the most reliable experimental results?
She should place one flower in a similar container, but not pump carbon dioxide into it. She should also give each plant the same amount of water.
Which statement best distinguishes an observation from an inference?
An inference is likely to change based on additional observations.
