BIO 101 LAB EXAM 1 STUDY GUIDE
What group is used to compare values of quanitative data amoung groups that
represent qualitative or discrete quantitative data - ANSWERS-Bar graphs
What organisms derive their energy directly from chemical compounds? -
ANSWERS-Chemotrophs
What do cells require energy for? - ANSWERS-Synthesis, transport and movement
Organisms catabolyze macromolecules to convert their chemical energy to stored
energy in the bonds connecting to the phosphate group in
________________________? - ANSWERS-Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
By what process does the ATP release free energy that powers work? - ANSWERS-
Hydrolysis of ATP
Describe cellular respiration - ANSWERS-It is how cells break down glucose
molecules through oxidation reaction to create ATP
What is aerobic respiration? - ANSWERS-Aerobic respiration uses oxygen from the
air to release energy from glucose.
, What is oxidative phosphorylation? - ANSWERS-Uses energy released by the
electron transport chain to power ATP synthesis.
Fermentation does not require - ANSWERS-Oxygen
Why would glucose break down faster than sucrose in a fermentation reaction? -
ANSWERS-Sucrose is a disaccharide and has to be further broken down into
glucose and fructose
In the presence of TCC the endosperm of the living specimen will turn? -
ANSWERS-Pink/red
TCC does not affect the living metabolizing tissue (T/F) - ANSWERS-False, it only
affects the living metabolizing tissue
What is an approach to gaining insights into the way nature works by creating and
testing hypotheses? - ANSWERS-The scientific method
What is an hypothesis? - ANSWERS-A proposed testable explanation of a natural
phenomenon, usually based on prior knowledge and experience
What is osmosis? - ANSWERS-Diffusion of water through a selectively permeable
membrane (Driven by a concentration gradient)
