Intro to Bio
This part of the microscope is correctly defined as the structure that you look through to view the specimen.
What is the Eyepiece?
What is a prokaryote?
What term describes explicitly a state where solute molecules are evenly spread throughout a solution, resulting in no net change in concentration?
What is equilibrium?
This energy production process occurs in plants
photosynthesis or cellular respiration?
photosynthesis
The product of Mitosis is to produce what type of cell?
diploid, or genetically identical cell
This characteristic of life is demonstrated when an organism takes in raw materials and converts them into usable energy and necessary compounds.
What is Metabolism?
What is the rigid layer surrounding the cell membrane in plant cells that provides structural support?
What is a cel lwall?
This type of passive transport occurs when water moves across a selectively permeable membrane to equalize solute concentration.
What is Osmosis?
Which structure within the chloroplast is the location for the following:
1. Light-Dependent Reactions
2. Calvin Cycle
1. Thylakoid Membranes
2. Stroma
The two identical strands of a replicated chromosome are held together at the center by a region called the
Centromere
Which of the following is a theme of biology that describes the passing of traits from parent to offspring?
What organelle is it?
What is the Golgi Apparatus?
This term describes the concentration gradient where the concentration of solutes is higher inside the cell than outside.
What is a Hypotonic Solution?
Which of the following is required (as a reactant) for the Calvin Cycle: Water, Oxygen, ADP, or Carbon Dioxide?
Carbon Dioxide
During which phase of Mitosis do the sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles of the cell?
Anaphase
A living thing is classified as being composed or made of what?
What are cells?
Which macromolecule is primarily used by the cell for long-term energy storage and insulation, including substances like fats and oils?
Carbohydrates
In the context of the cell, homeostasis is defined as the cell's ability to maintain its internal environment by regulating…
A relatively constant internal physical and chemical environment
Which process in aerobic respiration produces the most ATP?
Electron Transport Chain
Which process describes how genetic variation occurs in cells undergoing interphase I (of Meiosis I), where chromatids begin transferring genetic information to their homologous pair?
Crossing-Over
Is the species living or nonliving?
What is nonliving?
What cell structure is created from a phospholipid bilayer and is responsible for regulating materials in and out of the cell?
A scientist conducted an experiment comparing the same cell in 3 different solutions.
If the change of mass, or % change, is negative, that means the cell did what to it's mass?
The cell got smaller
Which cellular respiration pathway is most efficient?
Aerobic (36-38 ATP)
Anaerobic (2 from glycolysis)
The mitosis phase is critical because it ensures all spindle fibers are correctly attached to the chromosomes. What is the consequence if this checkpoint fails?
The resulting daughter cells will receive an unequal number of chromosomes, called non-disjunction
