AC-HPAT Biology COMPREHENSIVE QUESTIONS AND
VERIFIED ANSWERS (DETAILED & ELABORATED)
ACTUAL EXAM 2025 TEST 100% SOLVED 2025!!
Macromolecules - (ANSWER)A very large organic molecule composed of many
smaller molecules
passive transport - (ANSWER)the movement of substances across a cell
membrane without the use of energy by the cell (diffusion)
active transport - (ANSWER)Energy-requiring process that moves material across
a cell membrane against a concentration difference
catalyst - (ANSWER)substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction
fluid mosaic model - (ANSWER)model that describes the arrangement and
movement of the molecules that make up a cell membrane
Effect of qualitative factors on rate of diffusion of molecules across a plasma
membrane? - (ANSWER)The higher the temperature, the more kinetic energy the
particles will have, so they will move and mix more quickly.
Structure and function of carbohydrate - (ANSWER)sugars and starches that the
body uses for energy. Consists of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Typically in a
1:2:1 ratio
,testing different cognitive abilities, analytical skills, and subject-specific knowledge. In this essay, we will explore the nature of exams in business, law, and mathematics, their format, and how they evaluate students’
comprehension and application of core concepts. We will also discuss the similarities and differences
What are the tree main types of carbohydrates - (ANSWER)1. Monosaccharides -
simple sugars ( ie glucose, 6 carbon, fructose and galactose) 2. Disaccharides
which are double sugars ( ie sucrose, maltose, lactose) (consist of two
monosaccharides bonded together through a dehydration synthesis reaction [
results in loss of water molecule] ) 3. Polysaccharides which are complex sugars (
many monosaccharides bonded together) ( starch, glycogen, and cellulose)
Structure and function of protein - (ANSWER)made from many amino acids
connected together in different arrangements, provide the building materials
your body needs to grow and repair itself
Enzymes - (ANSWER)Proteins that speed up chemical reactions ( act as catalysts)
Structure and function of Lipids - (ANSWER)Store energy. Consist mainly of
carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Do not dissolve in water, because they are non
polar ( electrons are shared equally in the molecule )
-Fatty acids containing no double bonds are saturated.
-Fatty acids containing one double bond are mono-unsaturated.
-Fatty acids containing two or more double bonds are polyunsaturated.
-Fats provide approximately 9 kcal/g.
Lysosomes - (ANSWER)An organelle containing digestive enzymes. Destroy
pathogens (white blood cells)
, testing different cognitive abilities, analytical skills, and subject-specific knowledge. In this essay, we will explore the nature of exams in business, law, and mathematics, their format, and how they evaluate students’
comprehension and application of core concepts. We will also discuss the similarities and differences
Vacuoles - (ANSWER)Stores food, water, wastes, and other materials
Mitochondria - (ANSWER)Powerhouse of the cell, organelle that is the site of ATP
(energy) production. Cellular respiration's occurs here
cell / plasma membrane - (ANSWER)A cell structure that controls which
substances can enter or leave the cell.
Ribosomes - (ANSWER)site of protein synthesis
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum - (ANSWER)System of internal membranes within
the cytoplasm. Next to the nucleus & continuous with the nuclear envelope.
Membranes are rough due to the presence of ribosomes. Produce proteins and
fold them into three dimensional shape.( some are used in ER and other are used
in other part of cell) before transporting them using vesicles.
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum - (ANSWER)An endomembrane system where
lipids and carbohydrates are synthesized as well as hormones and cholesterol,
calcium levels are regulated, and toxic substances are broken down ( detox
occurs) .
Golgie bodies/apparatus - (ANSWER)1. Receives vesicles and modifies proteins
2. Adds lipids and carbs
