BIO 110 FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS
WITH CORRECT ANSWERS
cellular respiration - Correct Answers -the breakdown of sugar in the presence of
oxygen
ATP - Correct Answers -adenosine triphosphate: an energy-rich nucleotide
-helps transfer energy to other molecules and helps drive mechanical , transport, and
chemical work in the cells
A nucleotide consists of: - Correct Answers --a nitrogenous base
-a phosphate
-a sugar
phosphorylation - Correct Answers -the addition of a phosphate group to a molecule
what makes up ATP? - Correct Answers -ADP + phosphate
what can be broken down in cellular respiration? - Correct Answers -carbs, fats, and
proteins
what is cellular respiration also known as? - Correct Answers -aerobic respiration
(because oxygen is used in the process)
the usable form of energy produced by cellular respiration is - Correct Answers -ATP
what is the general equation for cellular respiration? - Correct Answers -glucose +
oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water (and ATP)
what is the site of cellular respiration? - Correct Answers -mitochondria
fermentation - Correct Answers -the breakdown of nutrients in the absence of oxygen
-anaerobic process
-yields less energy than cellular respiration
Growth Rate - Correct Answers -(birth rate - death rate) = r
Population growth - Correct Answers -growth rate x population
, carrying capacity - Correct Answers -the maximum population that can be supported
indefinitely in a given environment
Biological race - Correct Answers -isolation and differences in alleles
Morphological Species Concept - Correct Answers -Used with fossil record
Morphology (shape and form) is the basis for distinguishing species. Demonstration of
change in species over time / evolutionary lineage Cannot determine ability to
interbreed / gene flow
systematists - Correct Answers -scientists who study biodiversity at level of species
why does growth rate decline as a population reaches capacity? - Correct Answers -
reduction in birth rate, increase in death rate, or bot
exponential growth curve - Correct Answers -results in J shaped curve of population
increase over time
logistic growth curve - Correct Answers -S shaped curve of population increase over
time
density dependent factors - Correct Answers -competition, disease, food supply
density independent factors - Correct Answers -natural disasters, human impacts
doubling rate - Correct Answers -time for population to double in size
-indicates exponential growth
population crash - Correct Answers -a steep decline in the size of a population
net primary production (NPP) - Correct Answers -amount of solar energy converted to
chemical energy by plants, minus the energy required of plants to support themselves
how is efficient human food production done? - Correct Answers -agriculture
Biological diversity (biodiversity) - Correct Answers -the variability among living
organisms and the ecological systems of which they are a part.
Modern species are divided into three large groups, what are they? - Correct Answers -
Bacteria
Archaea
Eukarya
Within Eukarya, four kingdoms are also recognized, what are they? - Correct Answers -
Plantae
Animalia
