ECU BIO 1050 Exam 1 Study Guide | Biology Review, Key Concepts & Practice
Questions
rough endoplasmic reticulum - correct answer ✔✔folds and packages proteins for shipping
smooth endoplasmic reticulum - correct answer ✔✔makes lipids, like hormones, and breaks
down drugs and poisons in blood
Golgi apparatus - correct answer ✔✔receives products from the endoplasmic reticulum and
modifies and packages molecules for shipping; makes some carbs
lysosomes - correct answer ✔✔a membrane enclosed sac of digestive enzymes that break down
large molecules without damaging the cell (in animal cells)
central vacuole - correct answer ✔✔membrane enclosed sac in plant cells that can store items
such as pigments (to attract pollinators), water (to grow), or poisons (to protect agains
herbivores).
mitochondria - correct answer ✔✔the site of cellular respiration which converts food into
energy in the form of ATP
cytoskeleton - correct answer ✔✔a network or fibers that provide support and can be used for
cell movement; maintains cell shape
cell walls - correct answer ✔✔around the outside of plant (and bacterial) cells provide
structural strength, increase water resistance, and protect against damage caused by animals
chloroplast - correct answer ✔✔uses sun energy to convert CO2 and water into sugars (food) in
the process of photosynthesis
, nucleus - correct answer ✔✔contains the genetic material DNA
ribosomes - correct answer ✔✔built in the nucleus and shipped to cytoplasm; site were
proteins are made
plasma membrane - correct answer ✔✔surrounds the outsides of all cells; determines what can
pass into and out of a cell
biology - correct answer ✔✔scientific study of life
scientific hypothesis - correct answer ✔✔tentative explanation that needs to be tested to
answer questions. must be testable and falsifiable
descriptive-inductive reasoning - correct answer ✔✔when you make a bunch of specific
observations and put them together to form a view of the way the world works
experimental-deductive reasoning - correct answer ✔✔general idea of the way the world works
to make specific observations of new situatons
dependent variable - correct answer ✔✔the response variable you are measuring- goes on y
axis
independent variable - correct answer ✔✔predictor variable you hypothesize is responsible for
the variation variable- goes on x axis
pseudoscience - correct answer ✔✔make scientific claims without any data/ scientific info to
back them up
