FINAL EXAM ACTUAL EXAM PAPER 2026
QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS GRADED A+
⩥ Electron Microscopy. Answer: uses a beam of electrons to create an
image of the specimen
⩥ Cell Fractionation. Answer: The disruption of a cell and separation of
its organelles by centrifugation.
⩥ Cell Size and Surface Area. Answer: A cells efficiency depends on its
size. If the larger the cell the less efficient the cell is especially if it has a
high surface area to volume ratio.
⩥ Bacteria Cells. Answer: Apart of the prokaryotic family of cells, and is
the only living cell that does not have a nucli surrounding by a
membrane.
⩥ Archaea Cells. Answer: No membrane bound organelles inside of the
cell apart of the prokaryotic family.
⩥ Prokaryote. Answer: Any cell that does not have membrane-bound
organelles.
, ⩥ Eukaryote Cells. Answer: Any cell that has membrane-bound
organelles such as a nucleus.
⩥ Ribosome. Answer: A cell organelle composed of RNA and protein;
the site of protein synthesis.
⩥ Contractile Vacuole. Answer: The cell structure that collects extra
water from the cytoplasm and then expels it from the cell
⩥ Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum. Answer: This makes lipids and
transports them throughout the cell; it also helps to detoxify drugs.
⩥ Lysosome. Answer: Contains digestive enzymes necessary for
breaking down materials within a cell
⩥ Mitochondrion. Answer: A membrane‐bound organelle found in most
eukaryotic cells; site of cellular respiration where energy is created.
⩥ Vacuole. Answer: Cell organelle that stores materials such as water,
salts, proteins, and carbohydrates
⩥ Golgi Apparatus. Answer: Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and
lipids for storage or transport out of the cell
