DMA 2 Mock EOC Biology

Front

What is the function of vascular tissue in plants?

Back

Vascular tissue is responsible for the transport of water, nutrients, and food throughout the plant.

Front

What happens to a red blood cell in a hypertonic solution?

Back

The red blood cell will shrink from losing water molecules.

Front

What distinguishes eukaryotic cells from prokaryotic cells?

Back

Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while prokaryotic cells do not.

Front

What is the complementary DNA strand produced during replication?

Back

The complementary strand is formed by pairing adenine with thymine and cytosine with guanine.

Front

Why can water striders walk on water?

Back

They are light enough not to break the hydrogen bonds holding water molecules together.

Front

Define transpiration in plants.

Back

Transpiration is the process by which water vapor is released from plant leaves into the atmosphere.

Front

What is osmosis?

Back

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.

Front

What are ribosomes responsible for in a cell?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the role of mitochondria in cells?

Back

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell, generating ATP through cellular respiration.

Front

What is the function of the Golgi apparatus?

Back

The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.
