Final Exam: BIOD 101/ BIOD101 (Latest 2025/ 2026 Update) Essential Biology I W/Lab | Questions & Answers| Grade A| 100% Correct (Verified Solutions)- Portage Learning QUESTION what are the roles of the two major types of nucleic acids Answer: DNA holds the coding and genes that then are used to produce RNA which is used to make specific proteins QUESTION what are some of the main differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells Answer: Prokaryotic cells are small and multiply fast, they don't have organelles and do not have a nuclear membrane enclosing the DNA in the cell. Eukaryotic cells however, have membrane bound organelles and have a large nucleus membrane which make them a bigger cell than prokaryotic cells QUESTION what structures of the cells are complexes o tiny manufacturing pants that assemble proteins -Endoplasmic reticulum -Lysosomes -Nucleus -Ribosomes Answer: ribosomes QUESTION what 3 types of protein fibers make up the cytoskeleton Answer: microtubules, microfilament, and intermediate filament QUESTION which type of cell junctions are mechanical structures that wrap around the cell to prevent extracellular fluid from leaking -gap junctions -synaptic junctions -tight junctions -desmosomes Answer: tight junctions QUESTION what is the purpose of the cell membrane Answer: wraps around the cell and is responsible for keeping the cytoplasm and organelles in the cell and separating them from the external environment QUESTION explain the difference between passive and active transport and provide an example of each Answer: passive transport does not require energy for an element to move between the cell membrane for example oxygen and carbon dioxide can move through a cell membrane without an energy input. Active transport needs an energy such as ATP aiding with the sodium-potassium pump to move the molecule in or out of the membrane. QUESTION why is the electrochemical gradient important for cellular function Answer: important for nerve conduction, muscle contraction, mitochondrial metabolism, and hormone secretion QUESTION Matter can exist in which of the following states -Gaseous -Solid -Catatonic -Liquid -Basic -Plasma Answer: gaseous, solid, liquid, plasma, QUESTION Fill-in-the-Blank: The foundational building blocks of proteins are the organic compounds ______, which are held together by ______ bonds. Answer: amino acids, peptides QUESTION what does the term selective permeability mean Answer: Selective permeability is characterized by the ability of certain substances to pass through the cell membrane while other molecules cannot QUESTION why are lipids insoluble in water Answer: They are made of mostly non polar hydrocarbon chains. Water will only dissolve other polar bonded substances. Lipids can be dissolved in non polar solvents, like alcohol QUESTION what are ions Answer: atoms with a net electrical charge that can be negative or positive based on the gain or loss of electrons QUESTION which organelle of the cell contains the genomic content of the cell and serves as the control of the cell -lysosomes -golgi apparatus -nucleus -mitochondria
