Directions: Answer each question as completely as you wish, however you must answer them all. The
more you show, the more you know. You will turn this in on the day of the exam.
Photosynthesis / Cellular Respiration
1. Explain why the sun is the ultimate energy source.
2. How is glucose used as a form of energy?
3. In the ATP-ADP cycle energy is released for what purpose? Energy is also used to reattach a
phosphate. Where does that energy come from?
4. List at least 5 examples of cellular work.
5. What do the following prefixes and suffixes mean: glyc-, -lysis, photo-, and -synthesis.
6. Write the formulas for photosynthesis, aerobic respiration, anaerobic respiration and the
ATP-ADP cycle.
7. List the names for each compound written in the above equations in each of the 4 equations
above.
8. Photosynthetic rate is affected by several environmental factors. List as many factors that affect
photosynthesis as you can and explain how they affect the photosynthetic rate.
9. What is chlorophyll? What is its purpose?
10. List the steps of aerobic cellular respiration and briefly describe what happens in each one.
11. List the steps of anaerobic respiration and briefly describe what happens in each one.
12. What is fermentation? What type of organism carries out this process? How is it used by
humans?
13. Which types of organisms carry out photosynthesis? Cellular respiration? What organelle(s)
is/are the site(s) for photosynthesis and respiration?
14. What are the products for aerobic respiration? Anaerobic respiration in muscles? In yeast?

Cellular Division / Mitosis
16. What are the two different types of reproduction, and how are they different?
17. What are the advantages and disadvantages of asexual reproduction? What are the advantages
and disadvantages of sexual reproduction?
18. What are the specific names for the two types of reproduction in bacteria, protists, and other
unicellular organisms? Write a short description of each process.
19. Why do multicellular organisms undergo cellular division?
20. How are sister chromatids related to one another?
21. What are the five stages of mitosis, draw and label a picture of each stage, and give a short
description about what happens in each of them?
22. What is the result of mitosis? Compare and contrast parent cells to their daughter cells.
23. Explain what is occurring during the process of differentiation.
24. What is occurring during cytokinesis?
