Test Remediation & Review

Front

Which cell type has the highest degree of complexity?

Back

Eukaryotes are the most complex cell type, characterized by membrane-bound organelles and a defined nucleus.

Front

What biomolecule is found in fats, oils, and waxes and is a source of long-term energy?

Back

Lipids are biomolecules that store long-term energy and are found in fats, oils, and waxes.

Front

What is a hypertonic solution in osmoregulation?

Back

A hypertonic solution has a higher solute concentration than the cell, causing water to flow out of the cell.

Front

What organelle builds proteins for cell functions?

Back

Ribosomes are the organelles responsible for synthesizing proteins in cells.

Front

Which organelle is essential for a plant cell to produce food?

Back

Chloroplasts are necessary for photosynthesis, allowing plant cells to produce food.

Front

Define prokaryotes.

Back

Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms that lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, such as bacteria.

Front

What is the function of mitochondria?

Back

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

Front

What is osmosis?

Back

Osmosis is the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.

Front

What are the main components of the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane is primarily composed of a phospholipid bilayer, proteins, cholesterol, and carbohydrates.

Front

What is the role of nucleic acids in cells?

Back

Nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, store and transmit genetic information.
