Can a virus reproduce on their own? 

If yes, describe this process. If no, explain what they must have.

A virus must have a host to replicate.

Describe the difference in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

Prokaryotic - simple, no membrane bound organelles, no nucleus, does have a cell membrane, unicellular

Eukaryotic - more complex, does have membrane bound organelles, has a cell membrane, unicellular or multicellular

100

An enzyme is a catalyst, what is a catalyst? What does a catalyst do? How does it do that?

A catalyst is an enzyme that speeds up a chemical reaction by lowering activation energy.

100

Which of the following compounds is most likely to be a part of living organisms?

MoCl2

BF3

C6H12O6

CsI

100

What are the three parts of the cell theory?

- All cells come from pre-existing cells

- All living things are made of cells

- Cells are the basic unit of life

1. If you come in contact with someone who has the flu and you begin to feel sick in a few days, what viral replication process has taken place?

2. Can you take antibiotics to feel better? Why or why not?

1. Lytic Cycle

2. No, antibiotics can only be used to fight "live" infections. A virus is not living.

200

Which organelle helps to detoxify and creates hormones/lipids?

Smooth ER

200

List at least two things that can cause an enzyme to no longer work

Increase in temperature or increase/decrease in pH

200

What do the following suffixes represent?

-ose

-in

-ase

-ose = carbohydrates

-in = proteins

-ase = enzyme

200

Draw and label a phospholipid bilayer.

Use these words: Head, Tail, Hydrophobic, Hydrophilic 

Hold up your picture :)

300

Explain the difference in the lytic and lysogenic replication cycle.

Give details.

Lytic cycle is quick - contact with a virus will result in you being sick soon. 

Lysogenic cycle is longer - the virus can hide in DNA and be replicated without you becoming sick (dormant). You can become sick if a trigger occurs.

300

What do the ribosomes on the rough ER help to do/make?

Proteins
300

Draw and label an enzyme-substrate complex (looking for four main descriptive words)

Picture + labeled (enzyme, substrate, active site, product)

300

Which macromolecule contains CHONP?

What is the monomer of that macromolecule?

Nucleic Acid

Nucleotide 



300

What is the tail like structure of some unicellular organisms called? It helps them to be motile.

Flagella

400

How does a vaccine help to "fight" a virus? What is a vaccine?

A vaccine is a weakened or dead version of the virus injected. The immune system creates antibodies that can fight the infection. 

400

List 3 major differences between eukaryotic plant and animal cells.

Cell Wall

Chloroplast

Large Vacuole

400

Draw a graph showing an enzyme that is active from 2-10 on a pH scale. Draw the peak enzyme activity at 6.

Hold up your picture :)

400

Draw an example of the structure of a lipid. Label it as saturated or unsaturated.

Hold up your boards :)

400

Explain the endosymbiotic theory. 

Because of this theory, it is believed a few organelles have their own DNA. Which organelles in a cell have their own DNA?

The theory states that eukaryotic cells originated from smaller prokaryotic cells being engulfed by larger prokaryotic cells.

Nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplast

500

Is a virus considered living or non-living? (You must include details to get credit for this question)

Non-living: needs an explanation using info of DOG RACE'M

500

What is the job of the golgi body?

It packages and "ships" materials

500

Draw and label a graph that shows how a catalyst changes the rate of a chemical reaction. You need two lines: a solid line representing an uncatalyzed reaction and a dashed line showing how an enzyme will affect/change the reaction. 

Label the X and Y axis: Reaction Rate and Potential Energy

Use the words reactants and products.

Hold up your picture - do not erase or put it down!!!

500

List each of the four macromolecules and their monomers.

Carbohydrate = Monosaccharide

Lipid = Glycerol/Fatty Acids

Protein = amino acids

Nucleic Acid = Nucleotide

500

Create your own question that you would put on this benchmark. Each group will answer your question - do not erase it :)
