| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Using a microscope, a student observes a small, green organelle in a plant cell. Which energy transformation most likely occurs first within the observed organelle? | light to chemical |
| Plant cells use sunlight to make their own food. Which structure allows plant cells to perform this function? | chloroplast |
| Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are two major processes of carbon cycling in living organisms. Which statement describes one similarity between Photosynthesis and cellular respiration? | both include reactions that transform energy |
| A plant cell uses the molecules in the list to synthesize a protein. What role do the ATP molecules play in the protein synthesis process? | They provide energy |
| Molecules needed for protein synthesis | mRNA, tRNA, amino acids, and ATP molecules |
| Which statement best explains why cellular respiration in plants and other organisms is dependent on photosynthesis? | Because it provides the materials that fuel cellular respiration |
| A protein in a cell membrane changed its shape to move sodium and potassium ions against their gradients. Which molecule was most likely used by the protein as an energy source? | ATP |
| Which component of this membrane contains a hydrophobic region and acts as the primary barrier to mosforeign subtances? | phospholipid bilayer |
| Carbon dioxide and oxygen are molecules that can move freely across a plasma membrane. What determines the direction that carbon dioxide and oxygen molecules move? | Concentration gradient across the plasma membrane |
| Which statement best describes how active transport differs from passive transport? | Only active transport requires ATP |
| A sodium-potassium pump w/in a cell membrane requires energy to move sodium & potassium ions into or out of a cell. The movement of glucose into or out of a cell doesn't require energy. Which statement describes the movement of these materials across a ce | sodium and potassium ions move by active transport, and glucose moves by facilitated diffusion |
| Animals can produce potassium ion concentration inside their cells that is 20X greater than that of their environment & is maintained by the plasma membrane. ID the process in the cell membrane that produces this difference in concentration | active transport = protein pump |
| For the animal example, explain the process that occurs as the cell produced the ion concentration gradient | cellular respiration takes the animal and makes it more habitable to their environment |
| Compare the process of potassium ion transport to another mechanism that moves material across the plasma membrane | cellular respiration - they both transport energy to the thing that needs it the most |
