AC-HPAT (BIOLOGY, CHEMISTRY, PHYSICS, MATH) EXAM
2025 WITH QUESTIONS AND DETAILED VERIFIED ANSWERS
Most of the cell membrane's specific functions are controlled by: CORRECT
ANSWERProteins
Alcoholic Fermentation is a form of: CORRECT ANSWERAnaerobic
Respiration
Phagocytosis is a form of: CORRECT ANSWEREndocytosis
What is a pyruvate? CORRECT ANSWERPyruvate 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? CORRECT ANSWERRibosomes
What is the structural and functional unit of life? CORRECT ANSWERThe
cell
What is a prokaryotic cell? CORRECT ANSWERA cell that lacks a true
nucleus and membrane-bound organelles
,What is a eukaryotic cell? CORRECT ANSWERA cell that contains a nucleus
and membrane-bound organelles
What is cellular respiration? CORRECT ANSWERA 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? CORRECT ANSWERA form of cellular
respiration that does not involve oxygen.
What is aerobic respiration? CORRECT ANSWERForm 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: CORRECT ANSWERDiffusion, Osmosis, Active Transport, and
Passive Transport.
Prokaryotes often reproduce by: CORRECT ANSWERBinary Fission
What is binary fission? CORRECT ANSWERA form of asexual reproduction
in which the parent divides into two identical halves.
What is cytokinesis? CORRECT ANSWERThe division of cytoplasm into
two identical daughter cells, which occurs during the telophase stage of mitosis.
What is a haploid cell? CORRECT ANSWERA cell that contains one set of
chromosomes
, What is a diploid cell? CORRECT ANSWERA cell that contains two sets of
chromosomes
What is chromatin? CORRECT ANSWERThe substance of which eukaryotic
chromosomes are composed, consisting of mostly proteins, DNA, and RNA.
What is a centriole? CORRECT ANSWERa 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? CORRECT ANSWERA structure carrying genes is a
linear sequence, found in the nucleus, consisting of DNA and protein.
What is DNA? CORRECT ANSWERA double-stranded, helical nucleic acid
molecule capable of replicating and determining the inherited structure of a cell's
proteins. It makes up the genetic material of most living organisms and plays a role
in determining heredity.
What is RNA? CORRECT ANSWERA single-stranded nucleic acid molecule
involved in protein synthesis. It is responsible for carrying the genetic code
transcribed for DNA to specialized sites within the cell where the information is
translated into protein composition.
What is a nucleotide? CORRECT ANSWERA nucleotide is the basic building
block of nucleic acids. RNA and DNA are polymers made of long chains of
nucleotides. A nucleotide consists of a sugar molecule (either ribose in RNA or
deoxyribose in DNA) attached to a phosphate group and a nitrogen-containing
base.
