Structure/Function EOC Questions

Front

What is the process during which the DNA of a cell is replicated?

Back

Interphase

Front

What adaptations allow Euglena to survive in a shaded pond ecosystem?

Back

An eyespot to detect light, flagella for movement to the sunny side of the pond, and chloroplasts for making food.

Front

How is an organism with a cell wall, circular DNA, and no nuclear membrane classified?

Back

Prokaryotic, because it does not have a true nucleus.

Front

What process are onion root cells likely performing if dark X-shaped structures are observed?

Back

Mitosis.

Front

How do muscle cells compare to other body cells in terms of DNA sequence?

Back

Both muscle cells and other types of body cells have the same DNA sequence.

Front

What is the function of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy.

Front

What is the main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Back

Prokaryotic cells do not have a true nucleus, while eukaryotic cells do.

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells.

Front

What role do flagella play in Euglena?

Back

Flagella are used for movement, allowing Euglena to swim towards light.

Front

What is the significance of the eyespot in Euglena?

Back

The eyespot helps Euglena detect light, which is crucial for photosynthesis.
