Biology Review SB1

SB1a. A lab technician needs to determine whether cells in a test tube are prokaryotic or eukaryotic. The technician has several dyes she could use to stain the cells. Four of the dyes are described in the table below.

• acridine orange
• osmium tetroxide
• eosin
• Nile blue

SB1a. A type of cell that can exist in broad range of environmental conditions, can rapidly multiply, and lacks a nucleus is called what type of cell?

• Animal
• Eukaryote
• Plant
• Prokaryotes

SB1a. The drawing below illustrates a small portion of the molecules that make up a cell membrane.

What is an important function of the cell membrane in this model?

• Help cells recognize each other
• Packaging cell products for export
• Control the passage of materials
• Proving energy for the cell

SB1a. Prokaryotes are structurally simple organisms that have existed over two billion years. Which of the following are prokaryotes?

• Bacteria
• Fungi
• Plants
• Viruses

SB1a.What is one major difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?

• Prokaryotes have many DNA replication origins while eukaryotes do not.
• Eukaryotes have circular DNA while prokaryotic DNA forms a double helix shape.
• Eukaryotes have membrane-bound organelles while prokaryotes do not.
• Prokaryotic cells have a nucleus while eukaryotic cells do not.

SB1b. The role of the enzyme in a chemical reaction is speed up the reaction by _________________

• Increasing the activation energy
• Lowering the activation energy
• Increasing the pH of the reaction
• Decreasing the temperature of the reaction

SB1b. Which of the following best describes the function of an enzyme?

• Speed up reactions
• Lower Activation energy
• Break substrates down into smaller units
• All of the above are true

SB1b.The specific location where a substrate binds on an enzyme is called the:

• Active site
• Catalyst region
• Connection site
• Reactant complex

SB1b. Enzymes influence chemical reactions in the body by

• providing the substrate required for the reaction to occur
• affecting the rate at which reactions occur
• absorbing water released when polymers are formed
• combining with excess hydrogen to form wastes

SB1d. Many bacteria live in fresh water. Which of these statements best describes what will happen when freshwater bacterial cells are placed in salt water?

• Water leaves the cell, causing the cell to expand
• Water leaves the cell, causing the cell to shrink.
• Water enters the cell, causing the cell to expand.
• Water enters the cell, causing the cell to shrink.
