Natural Science Final Exam UPDATED
ACTUAL Questions and CORRECT
Answers
Biology - CORRECT ANSWER - The study of life and living things
cell membrane - CORRECT ANSWER - the structure that separates the inside of the cell
from the outside of the cell
Cells - CORRECT ANSWER - the basic units that make up all living organisms
Chloroplast - CORRECT ANSWER - the organelle in plant cells that capture energy from
sunlight to build organic molecules
Chromosomes - CORRECT ANSWER - DNA containing structures in prokaryotic and
eukaryotic cells
Cytoplasm - CORRECT ANSWER - the part of the cell that is outside the nucleus
DNA - CORRECT ANSWER - deoxyribonucleic acid, the molecule that stores genetic
information in living organisms; a double-stranded molecule consisting of a sugar-phosphate
backbone attached to a series of nitrogenous bases
Eukaryotes - CORRECT ANSWER - Organisms whose cells have a nucleus, such as
animals and plants
mitochondria - CORRECT ANSWER - organelles that break down food molecules to
provide the energy that cells need to carry out their function
, nucleus - CORRECT ANSWER - a structure in eukaryotic cells that contains the cells
DNA
Organelles - CORRECT ANSWER - structures in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells that
have specific functions
organism - CORRECT ANSWER - an individual living thing such as a plant or an animal
Prokaryote - CORRECT ANSWER - organisms whose cells have no nucleus, such as
bacteria
active transport - CORRECT ANSWER - transport across the cell membrane in which
energy is required from the cell
ATP - CORRECT ANSWER - adenosine triphosphate, the molecule that provides energy
for most cellular process
cellular respiration - CORRECT ANSWER - the aerobic, or oxygen-using breakdown of
glucose to obtain ATP
enzyme - CORRECT ANSWER - a protein that lowers the activation energy for a
chemical reaction, allowing the reaction to happen more quickly
mitosis - CORRECT ANSWER - a type of cell division in which one cell divides into two
cells, each of which has the same genetic information as the original cell
passive transport - CORRECT ANSWER - transport across the cell membrane that does
not require energy from the cell, such as diffusion and facilitated diffusion
photosynthesis - CORRECT ANSWER - the process in plants and certain other organisms
in which light energy from the sun is converted to chemical energy in organic molecules
