Honors Biology Semester 1 Final Study
Guide with Complete Solutions
What is the basic unit of all living things? - Answer✔️✔️-Cells
What is the basic building block of a protein? - Answer✔️✔️-Amino Acids
What is an Enzyme? - Answer✔️✔️-Proteins that act as a catalyst in life processes
How do Enzymes work? - Answer✔️✔️-- Increase the rate of chemical reactions without
being used up
- Have an active site where the substrate binds to carry out a reaction
What factors influence Enzyme function? - Answer✔️✔️-- Temperature
- pH
- Regulatory Molecules
What role do Lipids play in living things? - Answer✔️✔️-- Provide Insulation and long-term
storage
- Essential part of cell membrane (phospholipids)
Arrange these terms from least to greatest: Tissue, Organ, Organelle, Cell, Organism -
Answer✔️✔️-Organelle--> Cell--> Tissue--> Organ--> Organism
Describe the Structure of the Cell Membrane. - Answer✔️✔️-- Lipid Bilayer
- Transport Proteins
- Cholesterol
- Other Molecules

How does a cell respond to a Hypotonic Solution? - Answer✔️✔️-Water enters the cell
causing the cell to swell up into a sphere
How does a cell respond to a Hypertonic Solution? - Answer✔️✔️-Water leaves the cell
causing the cell to shrivel up
How does a cell respond to a Isotonic Solution? - Answer✔️✔️-Water keeps moving back
and forth causing the cell to look normal
Formula for Photosynthesis. - Answer✔️✔️-Carbon Dioxide + Water + Light Energy -->
Glucose + Oxygen
Environmental factors that influence photosynthesis. - Answer✔️✔️-- Sun (availability
affects light reaction)
- Water (availability affects light reaction)
- Carbon Dioxide (influence dark reaction)
- Temperature (Influence rate of reaction)
How do organisms get the energy they need? - Answer✔️✔️-They make food
(autotrophs) or eat food (heterotrophs). The food molecules are broken down and
energy is released from the bonds.
Formula for Cellular Respiration. - Answer✔️✔️-Glucose + Oxygen --> Carbon Dioxide +
Water + Light Energy
How does energy get into a food chain? - Answer✔️✔️-The sun- through the process of
photosynthesis
Energy Pyramid - Answer✔️✔️-
