Biology 1100 Exam Questions with Correct
Answers
Science
knowledge and a process
Peer Review
review on an article by experts before publication, it helps weed out sloppy research
Experimental group
experiences the experimental intervention or manipulation
Control Group
experiences no experimental intervention or manipulation
Correlation
not a direct relationship
Causation
Direct relationship
5 building blocks of life
atom, molecule, cell, organ, organism
Most common living organisms
Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorous, Sulfur
Proton
positive charge
, Neutron
no charge
Electron
negative charge
Oxidation
what a substance loses a electron or more (water and oxygen are strong oxidants)
Reduction
what happens to substance that has gained electrons (and therefore experiences a decrease or
reduction in its positive charge)
Redox reactions
term that highlights the fact oxidation and reduction never occur independently.
Steps of cellular respiration
Glycolysis, Citric acid cycle, electron transport chain
Glycolysis
the breakdown of glucose to 2 molecules of pyruvate, happens in the cytoplasm
Citric Acid Cycle
high energy electrons are stripped from the bonds between carbon and hydrogen atoms and
carried to the inner membrane of the mitochondria by NDAH molecules, happens in the
mitochondria
Electron Transport Chain
