Most of the cell membrane's specific functions are controlled by: -CORRECTANSWER
Proteins
Alcoholic Fermentation is a form of: -CORRECTANSWER Anaerobic Respiration
Phagocytosis is a form of: -CORRECTANSWER Endocytosis
What is a pyruvate? -CORRECTANSWER Pyruvate is an important chemical
compound in biochemistry. It is the output of the metabolism of glucose known as
glycolysis. One molecule of glucose breaks down into two molecules of pyruvate, which
are then used to provide further energy, in one of two ways.
What are the small spherical bodies within a cell where proteins are assembled
according to genetic instructions? -CORRECTANSWER Ribosomes
What is the structural and functional unit of life? -CORRECTANSWER The cell
,What is a prokaryotic cell? -CORRECTANSWER A cell that lacks a true nucleus and
membrane-bound organelles
What is a eukaryotic cell? -CORRECTANSWER A cell that contains a nucleus and
membrane-bound organelles
What is cellular respiration? -CORRECTANSWER A catabolic pathway for the
production of ATP, in which sometimes oxygen is consumed as a reactant along with an
organic fuel. At times, the process proceeds without oxygen, but this is less efficient.
What is anaerobic respiration? -CORRECTANSWER A form of cellular respiration that
does not involve oxygen.
What is aerobic respiration? -CORRECTANSWER Form of cellular respiration which
requires oxygen to generate energy.
Name the four types of transport that allow small molecules to move across the cell
membrane: -CORRECTANSWER Diffusion, Osmosis, Active Transport, and Passive
Transport.
Prokaryotes often reproduce by: -CORRECTANSWER Binary Fission
, What is binary fission? -CORRECTANSWER A form of asexual reproduction in which
the parent divides into two identical halves.
What is cytokinesis? -CORRECTANSWER The division of cytoplasm into two identical
daughter cells, which occurs during the telophase stage of mitosis.
What is a haploid cell? -CORRECTANSWER A cell that contains one set of
chromosomes
What is a diploid cell? -CORRECTANSWER A cell that contains two sets of
chromosomes
What is chromatin? -CORRECTANSWER The substance of which eukaryotic
chromosomes are composed, consisting of mostly proteins, DNA, and RNA.
What is a centriole? -CORRECTANSWER a cylindrical organelle near the nucleus in
animal cells, occurring in pairs and involved in the development of spindle fibers in cell
division.
What is a chromosome? -CORRECTANSWER A structure carrying genes is a linear
sequence, found in the nucleus, consisting of DNA and protein.
