Part of the cell cycle is shown in this simplified model. This part of the cell cycle is best described as the process that -
duplicates the DNA
completes cell division
maintains genetic homeostasis
synthesizes new molecules
The diagram shows cells in different phases of mitosis. A student is trying to find a cell in a particular phase of mitosis. The student is looking for evidence that spindle fibers are separating the chromosomes to ensure that each new nucleus has one copy of each chromosome. Which cell is in the phase of mitosis that the student is searching for?
Cell 1
Cell 2
Cell 3
Cell 4
Oncogenes are mutated forms of genes. Oncogenes can transform a cell into a tumor cell. Some tumor cells are benign, while others are malignant. How does the presence of an oncogene lead to the formation of a tumor?
ATP production is inhibitied.
Cell division is unregulated.
Somatic cell growth is inhibited.
Antibody activity is unregulated.
A student groups different types of cells as shown. Which table headings should the student use for the two groups?
Viruses can be transmitted through air, water, food, insect bites, and direct skin contact. Once a virus gains entry to the body, it invades a host cell in order to -
deactivate the host cell's defenses
synthesize antibodies for defense
metabolize host proteins and gro
access cellular processes for replication
The model represents the change in the DNA content of a cell during the cell cycle? Which part of the model represents the S phase?
I
II
III
IV
A student builds a model of DNA strand. Which of these models of a DNA strand shows bases that are complementary to the ones on the student's DNA model?
A singe-celled organism can be classified as a prokaryote based on the absence of -
a cell membrane
ribosomes
chromosomes
a nucleus
Which statement accurately compares eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells?
Eukaryotic cells are more complex than prokaryotic cells.
Eukaryotic cells replicate faster than prokaryotic cells.
Only prokaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles.
Only prokarytoic cells lack outer membranes and cell walls.
A table complaring the characteristics of four samples is shown. Which sample most likely contains viruses?
Sample 1
Sample 2
Sample 3
Sample 4
The diagram represents the movement of three different substances across a cell membrane. Moving which of these substances across the cell membrane requires energy from ATP?
2 only
3 only
1 and 2
1 and 3
A student observed a human cheek cell under a light microscope and made these observations in the picture. Which phase of the cell cycle is this student MOST LIKELY observing?
Prophase
Metaphase
Telophase
Interphase
An unspecialized cells mature, what controls their development into a specific cell type?
The rate at which the cells grow
The genes expressed within the cells
The nutrients available to the cells
The age of the neighboring cells
Which of these properties is found only in cancer cells?
unregulated cell division
Regulated gene expression
Response Response to signals outside of the cell
Presence of mitochondria
Both cells and viruses have genetic material in the form of what?
Nucleic Acid (DNA & RNA)
Carbohydrates
Lipids
Protein
Abigail is studying about viruses in her biology class. She learns that a virus cannot produce its own energy. What provides direct energy for the virus?
food
its host
the sun
a parasite
Liam, Benjamin, and Arjun are planning a trip to a country where a certain viral disease is prevalent. What should they take to PREVENT getting infected by the disease?
Vaccine
Neosporin
Hydrogen Peroxide
Materials are provided to students to build models of a prokaryotic cell, a eukaryotic cell, and a virus. The material and the structures they represent are listed in the table shown. Which materials would be used in all three models?
Yellow paper oval
Gray paper hexagon
Blue yarn
Purple buttons
In 1898 Friedrich Loeffler and Paul Frosch found evidence that the cause of the highly contagious hoof-and-mouth disease in livestock was a microscopic infectious particle. It was discovered that this particle requires a host cell to reproduce. Which pathogen is most likely responsible for causing hoof-and-mouth disease in livestock?
A bacterium, because it is contagious.
A fungus, because it infects livestock
A protists, because it is microscopic
A virus, because it requires a host cell to reproduce
Why do viruses have projections on the outside?
To send signals to other viruses.
To maintain their structure.
To attach to the host cell.
To reproduce.
Which sequence of DNA bases would pair with this template strand
ATG TGA CAG
Cancer is defined as the
uncontrolled division of mutated cells
normal division of cells
normal DNA replication
abnormal ATP synthesis
