Semster 2 Finals Unit E Part 2 Flashcards
(38 cards)
Plants gather energy with light absorbing molecules called
Pigments
In the cell cycle, extra no regulatory proteins direct sales to
Speed up or slow down the cycle
The principal chemical compound that living things used to store energy is
ATP
Autotroph’s differ from heterotrophs because they
Make their own food from carbon dioxide and water
Breathing heavily after running a race is your body’s way of
Repaying an oxygen debt
The process that increases genetic diversity within a population is
Sexual reproduction
In order for a sell to divide successfully, The cell must first…
Duplicate It’s genetic information
Cyclins are a family of closely related proteins that
Regulate the cell cycle
The leaves of plants appear green because chlorophyll
Reflects green light
ATP synthase in the chlorophyll membrane makes ATP, utilizing the energy of highly concentrated
Hydrogen ions
Which of the following is not produced in the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis?
NADPH, sugars, hydrogen ions,ATP
Sugars
What is the correct sequence of events in cellular respiration?
Glycolysis, Krebs cycle, electron transport
The products of photosynthesis are the
Reactants of cellular respiration
The starting molecule for the Krebs cycle is
A three carbon molecule called pyruvic acid
The principal pigment in plants is
Chlorophyll
Organisms that cannot make their own food and must obtain energy from external sources are called
Heterotrophs
Which process takes place in the cytoplasm of a cell
Glycolysis
Which organisms performs cellular respiration?
A mushroom, a fern, a polar bear, an iris
The first step in photosynthesis is the
Absorption of light energy
How do organisms get the energy they need?
By breaking down food molecules gradually and capturing their chemical energy
The Krebs cycle takes place within the
Mitochondria
In addition to light and chlorophyll photosynthesis requires
Water and carbon dioxide
What is not a source of energy for humans during exercise
Alcohol fermentation
The rate at which wastes are produced by a cell partially depends on the cell’s
Volume
