How many characteristics of life are there?

6 or 7

100

What properties of carbon allow it to form large molecules, known as macromolecules?

The carbon atom has unique properties that allow it to form covalent bonds to as many as four different atoms

100
What is the organelle that photosynthesis takes place in?
Chloroplast
100
What does it mean that the plasma membrane is selectively permeable?
It allows only some molecules through
100
What is the organelle that assembles proteins; the reason that part of the ER looks “rough”
Ribosome
200

Describe one of the characteristics of life: Respond to a stimulus

Organisms are aware of their surroundings; respond to external environment

200
What is the difference between dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis?
Dehydration synthesis is removing a water to put something together, and hydrolysis is adding water to pull something apart
200
What is the organelle that cellular respiration takes place in?
Mitochondria
200
What is passive transport?
The transportation of materials across a plasma membrane WITHOUT using energy
200

What is the organelle responsible for the FINAL stages of processing & packing proteins for release by the cell?

Golgi Apparatus

300

Describe one of the characteristics of life: Metabolism

The way organism process energy

300
Which macromolecule carries genetic information?
nucleic acid
300
What is the process that matches this transformation? sunlight + H2O + CO2 -> glucose + O2
photosynthesis
300
What is active transport?
The transportation of materials across a plasma membrane WITH using energy
300

What is the organelle containing folded membranes and sacs, responsible for the production, processing, and transportation of materials for use inside and outside a eukaryotic cell? (there are two of these in the cell)

Endoplasmic Reticulum

400

What is the difference between a hypothesis and a theory?

A hypothesis is a suggested explanation, while theory has already by proven and supported by science

400
Which macromolecule serves as a major source of energy for living organisms (e.g., sugars, starches, and cellulose).
carbohydrates
400

What is the process that matches this transformation? glucose + O2 -> CO2 + H2O + ATP

cellular respiration

400

What is the difference between hypotonic and hypertonic?

Hypotonic = low solute, hypertonic = high solute

400

What is the organelle that stores food, water, wastes and other materials like a “vacuum bag”?

Vacuoles

500

Using the words listed below, what is the correct order of biological organization from smallest to largest? Organism, Cell, Organelle, Tissue, Organ System, Organ

Organelle, Cell, Tissue, Organ, Organ System, Organism

500
What is the difference between adhesion and cohesion?
Adhesion is the attraction between two different molecules and cohesion is the attraction between two of the same molecules

Chemical energy

500

What is homeostasis?

A systems ability to regulate its internal environments

500

What is the organelle that uses chemicals to break down food and worn out cells parts like “lysol”?

Lysosomes
