AC HPAT PREP (BIOLOGY, CHEMISTRY,
PHYSICS, MATH) QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT ANSWERS
Most of the cell membrane's specific functions are controlled by:
✓ ~~~ Proteins
Alcoholic Fermentation is a form of:
✓ ~~~ Anaerobic Respiration
Phagocytosis is a form of:
✓ ~~~ Endocytosis
What is a pyruvate?
✓ ~~~ Pyruvate 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?
✓ ~~~ Ribosomes

What is the structural and functional unit of life?
✓ ~~~ The cell
What is a prokaryotic cell?
,3|Page
✓ ~~~ A cell that lacks a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles
What is a eukaryotic cell?
✓ ~~~ A cell that contains a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles
What is cellular respiration?
✓ ~~~ A 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?
✓ ~~~ A form of cellular respiration that does not involve oxygen.
What is aerobic respiration?
✓ ~~~ Form 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:
✓ ~~~ Diffusion, Osmosis, Active Transport, and Passive Transport.

Prokaryotes often reproduce by:
✓ ~~~ Binary Fission
What is binary fission?
