Question: Most of the cell membrane's specific functions are
controlled by:
ANSWER: Proteins
Question: Alcoholic Fermentation is a form of:
ANSWER: Anaerobic Respiration
Question: Phagocytosis is a form of:
ANSWER: Endocytosis
Question: What is a pyruvate?
ANSWER: 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.
Question: What are the small spherical bodies within a cell
where proteins are assembled according to genetic instructions?
- | P a g e
ANSWER: Ribosomes
Question: What is the structural and functional unit of life?
ANSWER: The cell
Question: What is a prokaryotic cell?
ANSWER: A cell that lacks a true nucleus and membrane-
bound organelles
Question: What is a eukaryotic cell?
ANSWER: A cell that contains a nucleus and membrane-bound
organelles
Question: What is cellular respiration?
ANSWER: 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.
Question: What is anaerobic respiration?
ANSWER: A form of cellular respiration that does not involve
oxygen.

to generate energy.
Question: Name the four types of transport that allow small
molecules to move across the cell membrane:
ANSWER: Diffusion, Osmosis, Active Transport, and Passive
Transport.
Question: Prokaryotes often reproduce by:
ANSWER: Binary Fission
Question: What is binary fission?
ANSWER: A form of asexual reproduction in which the parent
divides into two identical halves.
Question: What is cytokinesis?
ANSWER: The division of cytoplasm into two identical
daughter cells, which occurs during the telophase stage of mitosis.

Question: What is a diploid cell?
ANSWER: A cell that contains two sets of chromosomes
Question: What is chromatin?
ANSWER: The substance of which eukaryotic chromosomes
are composed, consisting of mostly proteins, DNA, and RNA.
Question: What is a centriole?
ANSWER: A cylindrical organelle near the nucleus in animal
cells, occurring in pairs and involved in the development of spindle fibers in cell division.
Question: What is a chromosome?
ANSWER: A structure carrying genes in a linear sequence,
found in the nucleus, consisting of DNA and protein.
Question: What is DNA?
ANSWER: A double-stranded, helical nucleic acid molecule
capable of replicating and determining the inherited structure of a cell's proteins. It makes up the genetic material of most living organisms and plays a role in determining heredity.
