What is the basic unit of life in biology?

• Tissue

• Cell

• Organism

• Organ

Describe the structure of a typical plant cell.

• A typical plant cell is composed solely of chloroplasts and mitochondria.

• Plant cells contain only a cell membrane and no cell wall.

• A typical plant cell has a rigid structure with no organelles.

• A typical plant cell consists of a cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, chloroplasts, large central vacuole, and various organelles.

What is the function of the mitochondria in a cell?

• To synthesize proteins

• The function of the mitochondria in a cell is to produce energy in the form of ATP.

• To store genetic information

• To regulate cell division

What are the main types of organic compounds?

• Enzymes, hormones, antibodies

• Vitamins, minerals, water

• Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids

• Sugars, starches, fibers

Define hydrocarbons and give an example.

• Benzene (C6H6)

• Methane (CH4)

• Ethanol (C2H5OH)

• Propane (C3H8)

What is the significance of functional groups in organic chemistry?

• Functional groups are solely responsible for the color of organic compounds.

• Functional groups are irrelevant in determining molecular weight.

• Functional groups are significant because they define the chemical properties and reactivity of organic molecules.

• Functional groups only affect the physical state of a compound.

Explain the law of conservation of energy.

• Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.

• Energy can be destroyed but not created.

• Energy is always lost in transformations.

• Energy can be created from nothing.

What are renewable energy sources?

• Renewable energy sources are energy sources that are naturally replenished, such as solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass.

• Energy sources that cannot be replenished

• Fossil fuels like coal and oil

• Nuclear energy sources that are finite

Describe the process of photosynthesis in plants.

• Photosynthesis occurs only at night when plants absorb carbon dioxide.

• Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy, producing glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water.

• Plants use photosynthesis to absorb nutrients from the soil.

• Photosynthesis is the process of plants growing without sunlight.

What is the difference between kinetic and potential energy?

• Kinetic energy is energy of motion; potential energy is stored energy based on position.

• Kinetic energy is the energy stored in a compressed spring; potential energy is the energy of a moving car.

• Kinetic energy is the energy of an object at rest; potential energy is energy due to its speed.

• Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in a gravitational field; potential energy is energy due to temperature.
