Intro to Ap Bio
What is the measure of how spread out data is?
Standard Deviation.
The dependent variable is defined as what?
The factor which is measured in the experiement.
What part of phospholipids are hydrophobic?
Tails.
What is the final electron acceptor in the ETC?
Oxygen.
Where do light reactions occur?
Chloroplasts.
What is the term for the average of a data set?
Mean.
A researcher will likely use this to ensure that no confounding/outside variable has affected the results.
A control.
How do unsaturated hydrocarbon tails help stabilize membrane fluidity?
Kinked tails prevent the tight packing of phospholipids.
How does the ATP synthase obtain energy to convert ADP + P to ATP?
Protons rushing through the proton gradient produces energy.
What are reactions that absorb energy?
Endergonic Reactions.
What are the 3 measures of central tendency?
mean, median, and mode.
What type of bond occurs when there is a transfer of electrons from one atom to another?
Ionic Bond.
What are two factors that could affect the rate of diffusion?
Size of molecule and substance concentration.
Where does the citric acid cycle occur?
Matrix.
Where does the Calvin Cycle occur?
Stroma.
What is the term for the most often repeated value in a data set?
Mode.
Which process is glucose used for?
Cellular Respiration.
What type of transport requires energy due to movement against the concentration gradient?
Active Transport.
What is the net production of ATP in the citric acid cycle?
2 ATP
What does it mean to say phosolipids are amphipathic?
They have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts.
What is the term for the middle number in a range of data points?
Median.
What macromolecule do plants use for storage?
Carbohydrates.
Term describing the cell's ability to regulate their solute concentrations and maintain water balance?
Osmoregulation.
What are reactions that release energy?
Exergonic Reactions.
Where does glycolysis occur?
Cytosol.
