Biology Basics

Which cell organelle is responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP?

• Nucleus

• Mitochondria

• Ribosomes

• Chloroplasts

What is the primary function of the cell membrane?

• To produce proteins

• To control the movement of substances in and out of the cell

• To store genetic information

• To provide structural support

Which of the following best describes the role of genes within chromosomes?

• They determine the cell's energy production

• They determine inherited traits of offspring

• They control the cell's waste removal

• They provide structural support to the cell

How do variations of traits within a population influence the likelihood of survival and reproductive success of a species over generations?

• They decrease the chances of survival

• They have no effect on survival

• They lead to adaptations that increase survival and reproductive success

• They cause the species to become extinct

Which structure is found in plant cells but not in animal cells?

• Mitochondria

• Ribosomes

• Chloroplasts

• Nucleus

What is the function of ribosomes in a cell?

• To produce energy

• To synthesize proteins

• To store nutrients

• To control cell division

Which of the following is a structural adaptation in species?

• Migration patterns

• Camouflage

• Hibernation

• Mating calls

What is the primary role of the nucleus in a cell?

• To produce energy

• To control cell activities and store genetic information

• To synthesize proteins

• To provide structural support

Which of the following best describes the function of the cell wall in plant cells?

• To control the movement of substances in and out of the cell

• To provide structural support and protection

• To produce energy

• To store genetic information

How do physiological adaptations help species survive?

• By changing their physical appearance

• By altering their genetic code

• By improving their internal functions to better suit the environment

• By increasing their size
