Oxygen is...
The process of converting sunlight energy into chemical energy stored in an organic molecule is called
What conclusion best matches the trends shown in this graph?

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are often described as existing in a cycle. Which statement best describes why this is true?
Aerobic respiration is different from anaerobic respiration in that aerobic respiration needs...
Which of the following describes homeostasis?
Which structure, composed mainly of proteins and lipids, aids in maintaining homeostasis in a cell?
The function of the cell membrane is to -
What separates facilitated diffusion from other types of diffusion?
Match the following types of transport to their descriptions:
Correctly identify the reactants and products of cellular respiration
Many marine invertebrates have body surfaces that are permeable to water but not to salt. Osmosis can change the pressure of their body fluids. Fortunately, the ocean is very stable in its salt content. What would happen if a jellyfish were placed in a very low-salt environment such as an estuary?
Sort the following forms of transport through the cell membrane.
An amoeboid protist lives in an aquatic environment with a 5% salt content. By placing this organism in a new solution, which solution would cause this organism to gain mass at the greatest rate?
Which statement about the structure of DNA is NOT true?
The function of DNA is to...
What part of DNA's structure codes for proteins?
What is the complementary DNAÂ sequence for the DNA strand ATCGGAACT?
In the figure showing gene expression, what should replace label B?

To create proteins, mRNA copies the DNA code. The mRNA must then transfer the DNA code from the nucleus to the ribosomes that are located in the cytoplasm. What action occurs next at the ribosomes?
How do four the different nucleotides found in DNA result in twenty different amino acids used to form proteins in the cell?
What is the amino acid sequence for the mRNA sequence UUGAGAGCA? Separate the amino acids by dashes

Transcribe the following DNA sequence into mRNA (use caps, no spaces): ACCTGACTA
Match the following molecules and structures to their role in protein synthesis
Photosynthesis takes place in the _________________ while cellular respiration takes place in the ___________________.
In the cycle shown in the figure above, which processes are shown by letters A and B?

What is the primary goal or purpose of cellular respiration?
The energy in the food produced by autotrophs or taken into the bodies of heterotrophs must be changed into a form that cells can use. The energy-transferring molecule used by cells is -Â
What conclusion can be made based on the equation below?
6CO2Â + 6H2O -> C6H12O6Â + 6O2
The diagram shown represents the input and output of a process performed by the chloroplast of a cell. Which substance is most likely represented by Y?

Both plants and animals perform cellular respiration
During intense exercise, sometimes your muscle cells start to perform anaerobic respiration because you aren't able to take in enough oxygen quickly enough. Why can't your body rely entirely on anaerobic respiration?
"Gene expression" refers is another term for which process?
DNA replication happens during
Which statement correctly identifies the anaphase stage of mitosis?
One difference between cell division in plant and animal cells is during cytokinesis plant cells have -Â
Match the phases of mitosis to their description
Place the stages of the cell cycle in the correct order
The image shows the process of mitotic cell division in a cell. If the daughter cells each have 16 chromosomes after cell division, what was the number of chromosomes in the parent cell?
The process of DNA replication is necessary before a cell -Â
Why does DNA need to be replicated during the cell cycle?
The pigment inside photoautotrophs that allows them to capture light energy is...
In osmosis, water travels...
The reason that eating salty foods makes a person thirsty is that...
Organims maintain a balance between their cells and the external environment through the process of -Â
A student calculated his heart rate every 2 minutes while he ran a mile. When the student was reviewing his results, he notice that his heart rate continually increased as he ran the mile. One of the reasons why his heart rate increased is because the -Â
Some fish travel from saltwater to freshwater or from freshwater to saltwater but still maintain the concentration of salt in their cells. This is an example of -Â
Mitosis is needed for...
Daughter cells produced by mitosis are genetically different
Place the events of the construction of proteins in the correct order
