BIOD 101 UPDATED FINALS EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS GUARANTEE A+
✔✔What is the term used to describe the type of molecules that can pass through the
cell membrane? What are the types of "passive" transport and "active" transport? -
✔✔The membrane is selectively permeable. No energy (ATP) is required for passive
and simple diffusion, osmosis, filtration, and facilitated diffusion. Active requires energy
(ATP) and other types are secondary active, cotransport, and counter-transport.
✔✔Tell how each of the following would typically enter a cell. Choose from simple
diffusion, facilitated diffusion, pinocytosis or phagocytosis.
Gases - ✔✔Simple Diffusion
✔✔Tell how each of the following would typically enter a cell. Choose from simple
diffusion, facilitated diffusion, pinocytosis or phagocytosis.
Water - ✔✔Simple diffusion (Osmosis)
✔✔Tell how each of the following would typically enter a cell. Choose from simple
diffusion, facilitated diffusion, pinocytosis or phagocytosis.
large objects such as other cells - ✔✔Phagocytosis
✔✔Tell how each of the following would typically enter a cell. Choose from simple
diffusion, facilitated diffusion, pinocytosis or phagocytosis.
droplets of liquid - ✔✔Pinocytosis
✔✔Tell how each of the following would typically enter a cell. Choose from simple
diffusion, facilitated diffusion, pinocytosis or phagocytosis.
lipid insoluble/polar substances - ✔✔Facilitated diffusion
✔✔Explain the function of each of the following in the cell:
Nucleus - ✔✔contains DNA and serves as the control center of the cell
✔✔Explain the function of each of the following in the cell:
Ribosomes - ✔✔tiny manufacturing plants that assemble proteins
✔✔Explain the function of each of the following in the cell:
, Smooth ER - ✔✔synthesizes lipids
✔✔Explain the function of each of the following in the cell:
Rough ER - ✔✔modifies and transports proteins derived from the rbosomes that are
found along its surface
✔✔Explain the function of each of the following in the cell:
RNA - ✔✔takes the coded amino acid sequences from nucleus to ribosome for protein
synthesis
✔✔Explain the function of each of the following in the cell:
endospore - ✔✔dormant, extremely durable bacterial cells
✔✔Explain the function of each of the following in the cell:
Golgi Apparatus - ✔✔Responsible for receiving lipids and proteins synthesized by the
endoplasmic reticulum, altering their structures and shipping them to other parts of the
cell
✔✔Explain the function of each of the following in the cell:
Lysosome - ✔✔possess digestive enzymes which breakdown unwanted
biomacromolecules
✔✔Explain the function of each of the following in the cell:
Mitochondria - ✔✔convert the chemical energy found in food into ATP
✔✔Explain the function of each of the following in the cell:
Chloroplast - ✔✔traps light energy from the sun and uses it to convert CO2 and H2O
into glucose
✔✔Explain the function of each of the following in the cell:
Plasma Membrane - ✔✔conatains specialized "pumps" and "gates" that regulate the
passage of materials into and out of the cell. In prokaryotic cells the membrane folds
inward to provide a place for reactions to take place
✔✔Explain the function of each of the following in the cell:
