How do viruses reproduce?

They invade a living cell and use the cell's functions to replicate their genetic material.

They copy their own genetic material inside a protein coat.

They kill a cell and reproduce inside it.

They do not reproduce because they are not technically living things.

Which statement about enzymes is true?

Enzymes provide a site where reactants can combine.

Enzymes are consumed during a chemical reaction.

Enzymes provide energy to activate a chemical reaction.

Enzymes increase the concentration of reactant particles.

The diagram summarizes two stages in the production of the specialized cells used for sexual reproduction. What happens in the stage labeled "process 2"?

Th chromosomes number is reduced by half.

The chromosomes move to opposite end of the cell.

The chart shows the embryos and adult forms of animals from different classification groups. What do the embryos suggest about these three animals?

The animals share a common ancestor and are therefore related

Fish are more closely related to humans than are chickens.

Fish and chickens ar closely related, but humans are not related to either fish or chickens.

Explain the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

The reactants of one process are the products of the other.

Photosynthesis takes place in the mitochondria of plants.

All plant and animal cells carry out photosynthesis and cell respiration.

The goal of photosynthesis is to produce ATP energy for cellular functions.

All of the following describe the process of meiosis except

Chromosome number is maintained.

Each parent cell divides twice.

Associated with sexual reproduction

Begins diploid (2n) and ends haploid (1n)

What will most likely be the result if all of the mitochondria are removed from a plant cell?

It will be unable to carry out respiration.

It will lose water through osmosis.

It will break down ribosomes in the cell

It will be unable to photosynthesize.

What will most likely happen if the human population continues to grow at current rates?

There will be fewer natural resources available for future generations.

There will be an increase in nitrogen levels in the atmosphere.

There will be a decrease in water pollution.

There will be an increase in the number of strong hurricanes.

A sea turtle has washed up on a remote section of a beach. This is known as a “stranding.” Stranding occurs when a dead, sick or injured sea turtle washes up on the shoreline. Which statement best explains why “stranding” should be reported immediately to local authorities?

The information can be very useful to biologists and managers who are trying to protect the species.

The information can be very useful to protect sea turtles from predators.

The information can be very useful to local fishermen who try to catch fish that sea turtles eat.

The information can be very useful to tourists who may want to keep sea turtles as pets.

Why is meiosis important for sexual reproduction?

It allows gametes to have half the original number of chromosomes of the organism.

It allows the zygote formed from fertilization to have triple the chromosome number of the organism.

It allows gametes to have twice the original number of chromosomes of the organism.

It allows the zygote formed from fertilization to have half the original number of chromosomes of the organism.

The use of pesticides on crops has been a common farming practice for decades. What has been the greatest effect of natural selection through the use of pesticides on certain insect populations?

The rate of selection is increased because the pesticides do not kill the insects that are naturally resistant to it.

Natural selection has been altered because the insects and their predators are killed.

The rate of selection has decreased because the pesticides kill only young insects.

The pesticides have altered natural selection by causing the insect DNA to spontaneously mutate.

About this resource

This Georgia Biology End-of-Course examination covers the comprehensive scope of high school biology, specifically designed for grades 9-12 students preparing for state assessment. The quiz encompasses seven major biological domains: cellular biology and biochemistry, molecular genetics, evolution and classification, ecology and symbiosis, cell division processes, homeostasis and physiology, and biotechnology applications. Students must demonstrate mastery of fundamental concepts including photosynthesis and cellular respiration pathways, DNA replication and protein synthesis, cell cycle regulation and mitosis/meiosis, evolutionary evidence and taxonomic classification, ecological relationships and population dynamics, and membrane transport mechanisms. Success requires students to analyze biological processes at molecular, cellular, and organismal levels while applying critical thinking skills to interpret data, compare biological structures, and evaluate cause-and-effect relationships in living systems. Created by A. Clark-Jenkins, a Biology teacher in the US who teaches grades 9-12. This comprehensive assessment tool serves multiple instructional purposes throughout the biology curriculum, functioning effectively as a diagnostic pretest, comprehensive review before state testing, cumulative unit assessment, or structured homework assignment for reinforcing key concepts. Teachers can deploy this quiz strategically during the final quarter to identify knowledge gaps, as formative assessment to guide remediation efforts, or as practice for standardized testing protocols. The quiz aligns with Georgia Standards of Excellence for Biology and supports Common Core literacy standards through scientific reasoning applications. This resource strengthens student preparation for the Georgia Milestones Biology EOC by providing authentic practice with the depth and breadth of content knowledge required for proficiency on state assessments.
