Biology Semester 1 Final Exam

Front

What is a plant?

Back

A plant is a multicellular organism that has cell walls and is an autotroph, meaning it produces its own food through photosynthesis.

Front

What are organelles?

Back

Organelles are specialized structures within eukaryotic cells that perform distinct functions, such as energy production, waste processing, and protein synthesis.

Front

What is the function of lysosomes?

Back

Lysosomes are enzyme-filled organelles that break down waste materials and cellular debris in the cell.

Front

What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

Anaerobic respiration is a type of respiration that does not require oxygen to produce energy.

Front

What are the three particles that make up an atom?

Back

The three particles that make up an atom are protons, neutrons, and electrons.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is the role of mitochondria?

Back

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell, as they generate ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy currency of the cell.

Front

What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Back

Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and various organelles.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the function of chloroplasts?

Back

Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells that conduct photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy.
