Chapter 6 Review Sheet
AP Biology
Exam 1 will cover:
1. Chapter 6
ALL, but I will only ask questions from part I that
were on Exam I
2. http://vcell.ndsu.edu/animations/
-you must watch…
a. mitochondrial protein transport
3. Inner life of the Cell 8min long narrated video
Know all bold words, figures and questions in chapter…
1. Water to water question. You are an electron in a water molecule in the atmosphere. Describe
your adventure as you rain down from the heavens, get picked up by a plant and work your way
through photosynthesis and cellular respiration back to another water molecule. You should end
up back in the atmosphere. Make sure to draw out the overall reactions of photosynthesis and
cellular respiration, and use these as figures to refer to when you write your text.
The following terms must be included and in proper context within your answer. If I cannot tell
that you know what the word means then I cannot give you credit.
Oxidized, reduced, cellular respiration, photosynthesis, chloroplast, thylakoid disc, grana,
thylakoid membrane, stroma, mitochondria, matrix, inner mitochondrial membrane, cytosol,
glycolysis, Krebs, ETC, Grooming, Light reactions, Dark reactions, Calvin cycle,
electronegativity, light, kinetic energy, potential energy, affinity, ADP, P, ATP, exergonic,
endergonic, energy coupling, ATP synthase, oxidative phosphorylation, chlorophyll,
chlorophyll+, photosystems, potential energy, kinetic energy.
2. THIS IS A QUESTION(S): You must watch the inner life of the cell video and know exactly
what you are observing throughout the entire video. There will be video/still shot questions
pertaining to this animation. It can be found under the misc section of the website.
3. Define and give lots of examples of energy coupling.
4. Discuss the importance of peroxisomes and include the reactions occurring within them. Why
do these reactions need a special compartment? Why is H2O2 dangerous to your cells?
5. Describe the different types of plastids and how they arise.
6. Explain why plants need both chloroplasts and mitochondria.
7. Explain what is meant by the cytoskeleton is “dynamic”. Describe the general structure of
cytoskeletal elements.
8. Compare and contrast the three different fibers of the cytoskeleton in terms of structure and
function.
9. Explain the premise/evidence behind the endosymbiotic theory – You need to know table in
powerpoint
10. Compare and contrast both the structures and functions of chloroplasts and mitochondria.
How, when working together, do these two organelles illustrate energy flowing through an
ecosystem and matter/nutrients cycling through it?
11. You should be able to draw both a simple chloroplast and mitochondria and be able to label
your drawings.
12. Explain the structure and function of flagella/cilia. Explain how flagella/cilia move. Identify
all of the motor proteins you currently know…there should be three…and where they function.
13. What is meant by an MTOC? Where are they found? Describe their structures. What does
9+0 mean? How does this compare to 9+2?
14. How are the centrosomes from plants different from those of animals?
15. Compare and contrast the structures of centrioles, basal bodies, and the core microtubule
structure of flagella and cilia.
16. Describe the structure and function of the three types of cell junctions and give real life
examples of where they are found.
17. Describe the structure and function of plasmodesmata. Explain how it is that plant cells share
their membranes and cytoplasm with each other.
18. Compare and contrast the primary cell wall of plants to the secondary cell wall.
19. Understand structure/function of vacuoles (large central in plants, contractile is certain protist
species, food, etc…).
