  2. Which process breaks down glucose to release energy in the absence of oxygen?

    Answer: Fermentation

    Fermentation (anaerobic respiration) allows cells to produce ATP without oxygen, yielding byproducts like lactic acid or ethanol.

  3. What happens during prophase of mitosis?

    Answer: Nuclear envelope breaks down and chromosomes condense

    During prophase, chromosomes condense and become visible, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

  4. Which of the following best describes a mutualistic relationship?

    Answer: Both organisms benefit from the relationship

    Mutualism is a symbiotic relationship in which both species benefit, such as bees and flowering plants.

  5. What is the function of the large central vacuole in plant cells?

    Answer: Maintain turgor pressure and store water

    The large central vacuole stores water, maintaining turgor pressure that keeps plant cells firm.

  6. Which level of ecological organization includes all living and nonliving things in an area?

    Answer: Ecosystem

    An ecosystem includes all living organisms (biotic factors) and nonliving components (abiotic factors) in a given area.
