Download Review Exam 2 Biology for Science Majors Chapter 7-10 | BIOL 1110 and more Study notes Biology in PDF only on Docsity! BIOL 1110, Spring 2011, Review from Chapters 7-10 Why do I cramp so badly when I run? Since we can get energy from glycolysis anyway, what’s the downside to anaerobic respiration? I’m on another diet, and I’m really watching my carbohydrate intake. Where are my cells going to get energy if I don’t consume carbs? What carbohydrate is most readily utilized by cells to produce energy? If I ate a cereal bar for breakfast, why does my body need to undergo cellular respiration? Since plants are autotrophs, do they need to undergo cellular respiration? If I could hold my breath long enough, could I produce alcohol via alcoholic fermentation? What role does light play in photosynthesis? Why do plants need water for photosynthesis? How are the mitochondria and chloroplasts similar to one another? Why do leaves on trees turn color in the Fall? What’s the difference between ethanol fermentation and lactic acid fermentation? What’s it about the chloroplasts that allows plants to undergo photosynthesis? What’s the energy currency of cell? Where does it come from? In what reaction do plants really make food? What’s the difference between cyclic and non-cyclic photophosphorylation? Which do you think evolved 1st, and why? What’s the purpose of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis? Why do cells need to communicate with one another? What determines how cells will communicate with each other? What type of macromolecule is the receptor used in cellular communication? What’s the difference between cellular communication if the receptor is inside the cell vs if the receptor is outside the cell? What types of cellular signals have intracellular receptors? Why? What types of chemical signals have extracellular receptors? Why? How can minute quantities of a chemical produce significant cellular responses? What’s a 2nd messenger? What are G-proteins? What’s the difference between chromatin, chromosomes, sister chromatids, and homologous chromosomes? What does ploidy mean? Haploid vs diploid? N vs 2N? What’s a mother cell and a daughter cell? What are the stages of the cell cycle? In which phase does the cell spend most of its time? What happens during each phase? Do all cells go through the cell cycle at the same pace/rate? Explain. How are mitosis and meiosis similar? Different? In which cells does each occur? End products of each? Stages of each?
