1.

What is the basic unit of life?

a)

Cell

b)

Atom

c)

Tissue

d)

Organism

e)

Which of the following is true about GENETICS

2.

Describe the process of photosynthesis.

a)

Photosynthesis produces carbon dioxide and water from glucose and oxygen.

b)

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

c)

Photosynthesis occurs only at night when there is no sunlight.

d)

Photosynthesis is the process of converting chemical energy into light energy.

3.

What are the main components of a cell membrane?

a)

Ribosomes

b)

Phospholipid bilayer, proteins, cholesterol, carbohydrates

c)

Nucleic acids

d)

Cell wall

4.

Explain the role of enzymes in biological reactions.

a)

Enzymes are used to store energy in cells.

b)

Enzymes are only found in animal cells.

c)

Enzymes are responsible for the color of biological reactions.

d)

Enzymes speed up biological reactions by lowering activation energy and facilitating substrate conversion.

5.

What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

a)

Prokaryotic cells are always multicellular; eukaryotic cells are unicellular.

b)

Prokaryotic cells have a nucleus; eukaryotic cells do not.

c)

Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles; eukaryotic cells do.

d)

Eukaryotic cells are smaller than prokaryotic cells.

6.

Define homeostasis and provide an example.

a)

The process of photosynthesis in plants.

b)

The digestion of food in the stomach.

c)

The movement of tectonic plates in the Earth's crust.

d)

An example of homeostasis is the regulation of body temperature in humans, where the body maintains an average temperature of around 37°C (98.6°F) through sweating or shivering.

7.

What are the stages of the cell cycle?

a)

Interphase (G1, S, G2) and Mitotic phase (M)

b)

G1 and G0 phases only

c)

Cytokinesis and Interphase

d)

Prophase and Telophase

8.

How do mutations affect genetic variation?

a)

Mutations decrease genetic variation by removing alleles from a population.

b)

Mutations only affect the physical traits of an organism, not genetic variation.

c)

Mutations have no effect on genetic variation in a population.

d)

Mutations increase genetic variation by introducing new alleles into a population.

9.

What is the function of ribosomes in a cell?

a)

To store genetic information

b)

To transport nutrients within the cell

c)

The function of ribosomes in a cell is to synthesize proteins.

d)

To generate energy for cellular processes

10.

Describe the structure and function of DNA.

a)

DNA is a single-stranded structure that only functions in protein synthesis.

b)

DNA is a double helix structure made of nucleotides that stores and transmits genetic information.

c)

DNA is a triple helix structure that primarily stores energy for the cell.

d)

DNA is a linear molecule that transports nutrients across the cell membrane.
