Teratology is the scientific study of congenital abnormalities and abnormal
formations.
A. True
B. False - ANSWER: A. True
The theory of epigenesis states that the organism is a complete miniature structure
within the sperm or the egg and simply grows larger as it develops.
A. True
B. False - ANSWER: B. False
In the theory of preformation, the ________________ is a supposed microscopic but
fully formed human being from which a fetus was formerly believed to develop.
A. fetus
B. tadpole
C. humunculus
D. nucleus - ANSWER: C. humunculus
___________________stated that living organisms could arise from nonliving matter
and that such a process was regular in nature.
A. Epigenesis
B. Endosymbiosis
C. Preformation
D. Spontaneous generation - ANSWER: D. Spontaneous generation
Which statement is false regarding prokaryotic cells?
A) They have a circular loop of DNA instead of multiple linear DNA molecules.
B) They lack a nucleus.
C) They are always single-celled organisms that are invisible to the naked eye.
D) They never contain organelles.
E) They contain cytoplasm but never a plasma membrane. - ANSWER: E) They
contain cytoplasm but never a plasma membrane.
Which of the following would you NOT expect to find in a bacterial cell?
A. Swimming using flagella
B. Having a cell wall around the plasma membrane
C. energy (in the form of ATP) production in mitochondria
D. Protein production on the ribosome
E. Sexual exchange of DNA with other bacteria - ANSWER: C. energy (in the form of
ATP) production in mitochondria
Prokaryotes reproduce by meiosis.
, A. True
B. False - ANSWER: B. False
Which of the following structures is exclusively found in eukaryotic cells?
A. Plasma membrane
B. Cell wall
C. Chromosome
D. Ribosome
E. Lysosome - ANSWER: E. Lysosome
Mitochondria and chloroplasts are thought to have evolved from free-living aerobic
bacteria that were engulfed by an ancestral anaerobic cell and established a
mutually beneficial (symbiotic) relationship with it.
A. True
B. False - ANSWER: A. True
Eucaryotic cells dive by
A. mitosis
B. meiosis
C. both - ANSWER: C. both
What is Cell Theory? What does it state? - ANSWER: Cell Theory describes the
properties and functions of cells.
All living things are made up of cells, cells are the basic units of structure and
function in living things, new cells are produced from existing cells
Why is cell theory so important? What did it disprove, etc? - ANSWER: Cell Theory is
importany because it provides a way to comprehend and learn about the structure
and function of cells, which makes every living thing. One reason of its importance
was that it gave a unified concept of life: that despite the diversity of God's creation,
teh cell is the basic and common structural and functional unit. Further, it allows
man to know how he and all life develops, matures, grows, and reproduces. Cell
Theory disproves the idea of spontaneous generation, the idea that organisms can
arise from non-living matter. Cell Theory states that all cells come from pre-existing
cells; hence, life cannot arise from non-living matter.
T/F: All organisms are made of more than one cell. - ANSWER: False
T/F: All cells have a plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and ribosomes - ANSWER: True
T/F: Proteins are made on ribosomes. - ANSWER: True
T/F: Prokaryotic cells have a nucleus. - ANSWER: False
T/F: The plasma membrane forms the physical boundary between the cell and its
environment. - ANSWER: True
