BIOLOGY 101 Questions with
Accurate Answers
what is the cell theory - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅all living things are made up of one or
more cells and their products
cells are the smallest unit that can carry out all life processes
all cells come from other cells, they do not come from non-living matter
what are prokaryotes - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅they are organisms that exist as single
cells. They do not have a nucleus or other membrane bound organelles. ex archaea and bacteria
what are eukaryotes - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅they are cells that have more complex
internal organization. They have a nucleus and other organelles. ex plants and animals
explain diffusion - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅its the movement of particles from high
concentration to low concentration. i.e. spraying perfume to one area (high) of the room but
eventually spread out to the entire room (low)
explain osmosis - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅the movement of water from HYPOtonic
solution to HYPERtonic solution. i.e. used to balance amount of salt particles in the water to
make it neutral
why does cell division occur - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅GROWTH
multi-celled organisms originate from a single cell, this is necessary for organisms to grow
REPAIR
to replace damaged or dead cells
, how does a cell replicate successfully - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅the cell's genetic info
must be copied
copies of the genetic info must be separated from each other
the cell must divide
what is asexual reproduction - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅when cells replicate and divide
for growth. single celled organisms go through binary fusion while multicellular will go through
mitosis and cytokinesis
three stages of a cell - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅interphase
mitosis
cytokinesis
what is interphase - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅the first phase of the cell, the cell will grow,
function replicate DNA and prepare for cell division
what is mitosis - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅the process of chromosomes being torn apart
to create two daughter nuclei
stages of mitosis - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
explain the first phase of mitosis - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅in the process of prophase,
the chromosomes will thicken and condense. The nucleolus will disappear and centrosomes
begin to from spindle fibres on each end of the cell
explain the second phase of mitosis - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅in the process of
metaphase, chromosomes gets aligned together in the middle of the cell. The spindle fibres on
each end of the cell attaches to each of the centromeres (in the middle of the chromosomes.)
