, 4. What is a pyruvate? ANS >>> Pyruvate is an important chemical compound in
biochem- istry. 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.
5. What are the small spherical bodies within a cell where proteins are assem-
bled according to genetic instructions? ANS >>> Ribosomes
6. What is the structural and functional unit of life? ANS >>> The cell
7. What is a prokaryotic cell? ANS >>> A cell that lacks a true nucleus
and mem- brane-bound organelles
8. What is a eukaryotic cell? ANS >>> A cell that contains a nucleus and
membrane-bound organelles
9. What is cellular respiration? ANS >>> 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.
10. What is anaerobic respiration? ANS >>> A form of cellular respiration that
does not involve oxygen.

, 11. What is aerobic respiration? ANS >>> Form of cellular respiration which
requires oxy- gen to generate energy.
12. Name the four types of transport that allow small molecules to move
across the cell membrane ANS >>> ANS >>> Diffusion, Osmosis, Active
Transport, and Passive Transport.
13. Prokaryotes often reproduce by ANS >>> ANS >>> Binary Fission
14. What is binary fission? ANS >>> A form of asexual reproduction in which
the parent divides into two identical halves.
15. What is cytokinesis? ANS >>> The division of cytoplasm into two identical
daughter cells, which occurs during the telophase stage of mitosis.
16. What is a haploid cell? ANS >>> A cell that contains one set of chromosomes
17. What is a diploid cell? ANS >>> A cell that contains two sets of chromosomes
18. What is chromatin? ANS >>> The substance of which eukaryotic
chromosomes are composed, consisting of mostly proteins, DNA, and RNA.

, 19. What is a centriole? ANS >>> a cylindrical organelle near the nucleus in
animal cells, occurring in pairs and involved in the development of spindle fibers
in cell division.
20. What is a chromosome? ANS >>> A structure carrying genes is a linear
sequence, found in the nucleus, consisting of DNA and protein.
