Biology NC EOC Review Exam
Questions and Answers 100% Pass
Cell Wall - ✔✔A ridged structure that surrounds the cells of plants, fungi, many
protists, and most bacteria
Chloroplast - ✔✔contains chlorophyll; the site of photosynthesis
Chromosome - ✔✔DNA in a coiled, rod-shaped form that occurs during cell division
Cilia - ✔✔A short, hairlike organelle that extends from a cell and functions in
movement
Cytoplasm - ✔✔The gelatin like aqueous fluid that bathes the organelles on the inside
of the cell membrane
Flagella - ✔✔A whip-like structure made up of microtubles that function in movement
Lysosome - ✔✔A organelle containing digestive enzymes, existing primarily in animal
cells
Mitochondria - ✔✔The organelle that is the site of aerobic respiration in eukaryotic
cells; FOLDS=More Surface Area=More ENERGY

, Ribosome - ✔✔the site of protein synthesis
Semi-Permeable - ✔✔A membrane that keeps some molecules out but allows others to
pass through
Vacuole - ✔✔A fluid filled organelle that stores water & food; plants have enzymes of
metabolic waste material
Contractile Vacuole - ✔✔an organelle in protists that expels/regulates water
Diffusion - ✔✔the process, by which, molecules move from an area of greater
concentration to an area of lesser concentration
Equilibrium - ✔✔a state that exists when the concentration of a substance is equal
throughout a space
Osmosis - ✔✔the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane
Passive transport - ✔✔the movement of substances across the cell membrane without
the use of cell energy
Active Transport - ✔✔the movement of a substance across the cell membrane against a
concentration gradient; requires the cell to expend energy (APT)
Vesicle - ✔✔a membrane-bound sac in a eukaryotic cell that contains materials involved
in endocytosis, exocytosis, or transport within a cell.
