Biology EOC Review

Front

What is the function of the Golgi complex in a cell?

Back

The Golgi complex is responsible for packaging proteins for transport outside the cell.

Front

What molecule brings amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA (transfer RNA) is responsible for bringing amino acids to the ribosome.

Front

What happens if DNA is not successfully replicated during a cell cycle checkpoint?

Back

The cell will not complete the cell cycle.

Front

What evidence do fossils provide about ancient species?

Back

Fossils provide evidence of structural similarities between ancient species, such as the mastodon and modern elephants.

Front

How does the structure of a phospholipid relate to its function in a cell?

Back

The phospholipid can dissolve in water and associate with other lipid molecules to form a barrier between the inside and outside of a cell.

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in a cell?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for synthesizing proteins by translating mRNA.

Front

What is the primary function of the endoplasmic reticulum?

Back

The endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of proteins and lipids.

Front

What is the significance of checkpoints in the cell cycle?

Back

Checkpoints ensure that the cell is ready to proceed to the next phase, preventing errors such as incomplete DNA replication.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA stores genetic information, while RNA is involved in protein synthesis and can act as a messenger.

Front

What is natural selection?

Back

Natural selection is the process by which organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.
