QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS
GRADED A+
◍ During aerobic respiration, which one of the following substances is
released?.
Answer: 36ATP
◍ How many chromosomes do sperm and egg produce in mitosis?.
Answer: 46
◍ Which statement correctly describes a difference between the cytosol and
the mitochondrion?.
Answer: Mitochondrion which is also known as the power house of the cell
is a membrane-bounded cell organelle while cytosol LACKS any definitive
membranous outer covering.
◍ The organelles that contain enzymes that digest worn-out parts of cells are
called ___________..
Answer: Lysosomes
◍ Propmetaphase.
Answer: Nuclear Envelope begins to disappear and the chromosomes begin
to attach to the spindle that is forming along the axis of the cell
◍ The end product of protein metabolism is ?.
Answer: Amino acids
◍ Which of the following in an example of an abiotic factor?.
Answer: Water
,◍ Which of the following cell structures is only found in eukaryotic cells?.
Answer: Nucleus
◍ What organelle is responsible for packaging, processing, and shipping?.
Answer: Golgi Apparatus
◍ In the scientific process, which of the following is a statement or
explanation of certain events or happenings?.
Answer: hypothesis
◍ The plasma membrane is made of/ composed of what?.
Answer: lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates
◍ The diffusion of water through a semipermeable membrane is known as?.
Answer: Osmosis
◍ Carbohydrates are composed of monomers called _________..
Answer: Monosaccharides
◍ Steroids.
Answer: Are lipids, which are precursors to hormones and drugs
◍ During cellular respiration, the electrical gradient and a pH gradient occur
where?.
Answer: Electron Transport Chain
◍ What type of population survivorship curve is representative of a population
that produces many offspring with low survivorship?.
Answer: R-curve
◍ The plasma membrane is soluble to?.
Answer: Lipids
◍ A human somatic cell would have _________ chromosomes..
Answer: 46
◍ Which of the following is true regarding adhesion?.
Answer: Water molecules sticking to other polar molecules
◍ Athletes are often concerned with the question of what they need in their
, diets to increase muscle mass and strength. What biological molecule would
you recommend that would accomplish this?.
Answer: proteins
◍ Plant cells have what organelle that functions as storage, waste disposal, and
protection?.
Answer: vacuoles
◍ What kind of cells are in meiosis (sex cells).
Answer: gametes
◍ Which biome is characterized by low average rainfall with plants typically
covered with spines?.
Answer: Desert
◍ The most efficient cellular respiratory process, in terms of energy-yield per
molecule of glucose, is?.
Answer: Aerobic respiration
◍ Which statement about pyruvate is most consistent with the diagram?.
Answer: The formation of pyruvate is associated with the production of
energy in the form of ATP molecules. Under aerobic conditions in the
mitochondria, pyruvate is converted into acetyl-coA, which goes into the
citric acid cycle to yield 2 molecules of ATP.Maximum of 34 ATP
molecules are produced in the electron transport chain and chemiosmosis
process.Aerobicrespiration37 41It's formation yields ATP
◍ Virus.
Answer: Viruses can be composed of either DNA or RNA, but not both. If
they are composed of RNA, they are called a retrovirus. Viruses are
typically much smaller than bacteriaViruses are considered acellular
because they do not have organelles or cytoplasm. All viruses are parasitic,
as they depend on a host source to be able to reproduce
◍ Which of the following is true regarding RNA?.
Answer: It is single stranded
