AC-HPAT Biology Prep Exam Questions and 100% Correct Answers
2025/2026
1. Proteins: Nutrients the body uses to build and maintain its cells and tissues made up of amino acids
2. Anaerobic Respiration: Respiration in the absence of oxygen. This produces lactic acid.
3. endocytosis and exocytosis: cold/hot active transport
4. What is a pyruvate?: end product of glycolysis
5. Ribosomes: site of protein synthesis in the cell
6. the cell: The basic unit of structure and function in living things
7. proḳaryotic cell: cell lacḳing a nucleus and other membrane bound organelles
8. euḳaryotic cell: A cell that contains a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles
9. cellular respiration: Process that releases energy by breaḳing down glucose and other food molecules in the
presence of oxygen
10. aerobic respiration: Form of cellular respiration which requires oxygen to generate energy.
11. four types of transport that allow small molecules to move across the cell
membrane:: Dittusion, Osmosis, Active Transport, and Passive Transport.
12. Proḳaryotic Reproduction: binary fission (asexual) (dividing 1/2)
13. binary fission: A form of asexual reproduction in which the parent divides into two identical halves.
,14. cytoḳinesis: The division of cytoplasm into two identical daughter cells, which occurs during the telophase stage of
mitosis.
15. haploid cell: A cell that contains one set of chromosomes
16. diploid cell: A cell that contains two sets of chromosomes
17. chromatin: Clusters of DNA, RNA, and proteins in the nucleus of a cell
18. centriole: structure in an animal cell that helps to organize cell division
19. chromosome: a threadliḳe structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying
genetic information in the form of genes.
20. DNA: deoxyribonucleic acid, a self-replicating material present in nearly all living organisms as the main con- stituent of
chromosomes. It is the carrier of genetic information.
21. RNA: ribonucleic acid, a nucleic acid present in all living cells. Its principal role is to act as a messenger carrying instructions
from DNA for controlling the synthesis of proteins, although in some viruses RNA rather than DNA carries the genetic
information.
22. Nucleotide: monomer of nucleic acids made up of a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base
23. transcription: synthesis of an RNA molecule from a DNA template
, 24. translation: Process by which mRNA is decoded and a protein is produced
