Process in plant cells that uses sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create glucose and oxygen.

B. Chemosynthesis

C. Photosynthesis

D. Fermentation

C. Photosynthesis

The site of cellular respiration.

Mitochondria.

200

The site of photosynthesis.

While animals produce lactic acid during the process of fermentation, plants and yeasts produce __________.

Alcohol.

200

300

A process that DOES NOT use oxygen

Anaerobic Process

300

A process that uses oxygen.

Aerobic Process

300

What are the bubbles in the experiment below?

Oxygen.

300

What process is shown in the diagram below (movement of water across the cell membrane)?

Osmosis.

400

Process by which some organisms use chemical energy (instead of light energy) to make their own food.

Chemosynthesis.

400

Pigment in the chloroplast that absorbs light for photosynthesis and gives plants their green color.

Chlorophyll.

400

Which graph shows the relationship between the distance from the light and the rate of photosynthesis in plants? 

C. The graph shows that as the light gets farther away, the rate of photosynthesis decreases. 

400

Which color/shape of molecules will travel with the help of an ATP pump?

The yellow squares.

500

The "energy molecule" used in our cells.

ATP - Adenosine Triphosphate

500

Process that occurs in cells when there is no oxygen present. Creates lactic acid in animal cells and alcohol in plant cells.

Fermentation.

500

A group of students wants to test the effect of light intensity on the pH of an aquarium environment. Would the table below be a proper experimental set up to test this? (YES or NO, DOUBLE POINTS FOR ANY TEAM THAT CAN EXPLAIN THEIR ANSWER)

NO. If you are trying to test the effect of the light intensity then all other variables need to remain the same. This means that you need to start with the same mass of algae in ALL aquariums. 

500

What would happen to a human cell if it were placed in a HYPOTONIC solution?

Include the direction the water would travel and the effect on the cell.

Water would travel INTO the cell causing the cell to swell and eventually burst.
