Q

How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration linked?

A

Oxygen is made by photosynthesis and animals & plants use oxygen during cel resp to break down food. CO2 is also produced by photosynthesis and is used in cel resp to make sugars

22
Q

Describe the process of cell division in eukaryotes

A
  1. DNA is packaged up into chromosomes
  2. equal numbers of chromosomes are separated
  3. nucleus splits to form two identical nuclei (mitosis)
  4. the rest of the cell divides
23
Q

how do new cells in plants form?

A

a cell pate forms and the cell splits into two cells

24
Q

how do new animal cells in animals form?

A

the cell membrane pinches inward through the cell to form two new cells

25
Q

the exchange of materials between a cell and its environment takes place where?

A

cell membrane

26
Q

what characteristic of the cell membrane allows only certain particles to cross into our out of the cell?

A

semi-permeable

27
Q

in eukaryotic cells, a process of cell division that forms two new nuclei, each of which has the same number of chromosomes

A

mitosis

28
Q

the movement of particles across a cell membrane without the use of energy by the cell

A

passive transport

29
Q

the movement of molecules from high concentrations to low concentrations

A

diffusion

30
Q

The diffusion of water through a semi permeable membrane

A

osmosis

31
Q

diffusion

A

the movement of molecules from high concentrations to low concentrations

32
Q

passive transport

A

the movement of particles across a cell membrane without the use of energy by the cell

33
Q

osmosis

A

The diffusion of water through a semi permeable membrane

34
Q

Does it usually require energy for something to move from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration

A

no

35
Q

Does it typically require energy for materials to move from areas of low concentration to higher concentration?

A

yes

36
Q

the movement of particles against a concentration gradient

A

Active transport

37
Q

Some large particle that do not fit through the protein channels may require active transport across cell membranes by a process called _______ & _______.

A

endocytosis & exocytosis

38
Q

endocytosis

A

process by which a cell uses energy to surround a particle and enclose the particle in a vesicle to bring the particle into the cell

39
Q

Vesicles

A

sacs formed from pieces of the cell membranes

40
Q

exocytosis

A

when particles are enclosed in a vesicle and released from a cell (opposite of endocytosis)

41
Q

Food is made during __(a)__. Energy is produced from food during __(b)__.

A

a-photosynthesis

b-cellular respiration

42
Q

_______ uses energy to release particles from a cell

A

Active transport

43
Q

the change in leaf color on trees is one way the trees can maintain _____?

A

homeostasis (the leaved drop off so that the branches can retain more water, chlorophyll breaks down close to autumn

44
Q

Hod do you think the change in chlorophyll levels is a response to changes in the length of day from summer to fall?

A

The days in the summer are longer than the days in the fall. In the summer they get more pigments because of more energy.
