AQA Biology- Paper 1 Exam
Questions and Answers 100%
PASS
What are the 2 main types of disease?—ANSWER-communicable ( CAN be
spread between organisms ) and non-communicable ( CANNOT be spread
between organisms )
What name is given to the part of an animal cell which controls its activities
and contains the genetic material?—ANSWER-nucleus
What name is given to the part of an animal cell in which most of the
chemical reactions take place?—ANSWER-cytoplasm
What name is given to the part of an animal cell cell that controls the
passage of substances into and out of the cell?—ANSWER-cell membrane
What name is given to the part of an animal cell where aerobic respiration
takes place?—ANSWER-mitochondria
What name is given to the part of an animal cell where proteins are
synthesised?—ANSWER-ribosomes
, As well as all the sub-cellular structures found in animal cells what else
does a plant cell contain?—ANSWER-cell wall made of cellulose which
strengthens the cell- a permanent vacuole filled with sap which supports the
plant- plants need to make their own food so some of the cells contain
chloroplasts
What is the function of chloroplasts in many plant cells?—ANSWER-they
absorb light to make food ( glucose ) by photosynthesis
Why are chloroplasts not present in root cells?—ANSWER-they do not
receive any light
What are the 2 main types of cell?—ANSWER-prokaryotic ( bacterial cells )
and eukaryotic ( plant, animal and fungal cells )
What are the key features of prokaryotic cells?—ANSWER-much smaller in
size and simpler in structure than eukaryotic cells- genetic material is not
enclosed in a nucleus- the genetic material is a single DNA loop and there
may be one or more small rings of DNA called plasmids- they do not contain
mitochondria or chloroplasts
Give 3 specific features of a typical bacterial cell.—ANSWER-roles of
mitochondria and chloroplasts are taken over by the cytoplasm- plasmids
are present which are circles of DNA that can be transferred from one cell to
another- flagella, a tail-like structure that helps some bacteria move
What is the unit of measurement equivalent to 10 to the power of 9?—
ANSWER-nanometre ( nm )
