DAT REVIEW QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS WITH SOLUTIONS 2024
Organisms that obtain their energy from
light can be termed? - ANSWER autotrophic
Compare Fermentation to aerobic respiration. - ANSWER yields less energy per mole of glucose than
aerobic respiration.
In respiration what does oxygen do? - ANSWER acts as an acceptor for electrons (and protons), forming
water.
An enzyme is added to an aqueous solution of ATP, DNA, albumen, fat and glycogen; the reaction
mixture is incubated for 10 minutes. If an analysis of

, The movement of water soluble molecules through cell membranes, from higher to lower
concentrations, by attachment to a carrier protein, describes what? - ANSWER facilitated diffusion
As far as their products are concerned, all biosynthetic reactions in living cells result in what? - ANSWER
a more ordered state, therefore a decrease in entropy
Which is the smallest organelle in the cell? - ANSWER ribosome
