Photosynthesis
What are the three main reactants required for photosynthesis?
Sunlight, CO2, and water (H2O)
What are the 3 things required for Cell Respiration to take place?
Water, Glucose, Oxygen
What stage does a cell spend 90% of its life?
Interphase
Who is known as the “Father of Genetics”?
Gregor Mendel
What tool do we use to predict possible offspring traits?
Punnett Squares
What is the green, oval-shaped organelle where photosynthesis takes place?
Chloroplast
Mitochondria
Are the cells produced during meiosis identical or different?
An allele whose trait is always expressed when the allele is present
dominant allele
If a plant has the genotype tt, is it homozygous or heterozygous?
Because they make their own food plants are called: Autotrophs or Heterotrophs
Autotrophs
What are the 3 phases of Cell Respiration?
Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, Electron Transport Chain (ETC)
What process process happens in prophase I that causes the cells at the end of meiosis to be different?
Crossing Over
Pea Plants
If a father has the genotype Bb and a mother has the genotype Bb (where B is brown eyes and b is blue eyes), what is the probability that their child will have blue eyes?
25%
What is another name for the Light Independent Reaction?
Calvin Cycle
What is the main energy molecule produced by cellular respiration?
ATP
What structure pulls chromosomes apart during cell division?
Spindle Fibers
A situation where neither allele is completely dominant, resulting in a blended phenotype (e.g., a red flower and a white flower making a pink flower).
Cross a heterozygous green pea plant (Gg) with a homozygous recessive yellow pea plant (gg)
What is the chance the offspring will be yellow?
50%
Inside the chloroplast, the light-dependent reactions take place in these stacked, pancake-like membranes called:
Thylakoid
If oxygen is NOT available what process takes place? 100 BONUS POINTS: if you know the two different types
Fermentation; Lactic Acid Fermentation & Alcohol Fermentation
Meiosis undergoes this many rounds of cell division, whereas Mitosis undergoes this many rounds.
Meiosis: 2 and Mitosis: 1
What is the term for an organism with two different alleles?
Heterozygous
In pea plants, purple flowers are dominant to white flowers. If you cross a purebred purple plant with a purebred white plant, what is the phenotype of the offspring?
Purple
