Cells
What does the mitochondria do for the cell?
Provides power for the cell.
What are the main producers of the ecosystem?
Plants.
What are proteins made of?
Amino acids.
How does photosynthesis cycle carbon dioxide?
The carbon gets reduced, which causes it to gain more electrons.
What is a eukaryote?
It is any cell that isn't bacteria.
Why is ATP important?
It provides the energy needed for many essential processes in organisms and cells.
Why are cells important?
All living things are made of cells. They are needed to live.
What does the Calvin cycle produce?
Glucose.
What are the two structures unique to bacteria?
Plasmid and Flagella.
Why does the thylakoid do?
They help provide the platform for light reactions of photosynthesis.
What is the role of proteins?

What are the 4 most important elements?
carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen.
Why does the Krebs Cycle (or Citric Acid Cycle) happen?
To produce energy that is stored and then transported as ATP or GTP.
Name all the phases of cell division in order.
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, and Cytokinesis
Which organisms rely on fermentation to help them process energy?
Bacteria.
How does the mitochondria make energy?
It converts chemical energy from food in the cell to energy in a form usable to the host cell.
Why are cycles important?
They allow the transport and long-term storage of matter, as well as make essential elements.
