Exam Review(2025 CORRECT Q&A)
False, Viruses are not living and as such are not considered
microorganisms. Viruses can, however, be classified as microbes, a more
general term that includes microorganisms and viruses. - True/False. A
virus is considered a microorganism.
A cell - What is the smallest biological unit of life?
Proteins, Lipids, Nucleic Acids, Carbohydrates - What are the four main
types of macromolecules found in cells?
Amino acids - Proteins are formed from various combinations of
twenty - There are how many known forms of amino acids
Nine - How many amino acids are classified as being essential amino
acids?
DNA, RNA. Found in the nucleus. - Where can the two major types of
nucleic acids be found in the cell?
RNA , found in the nucleus is capable of leaving the nucleus. RNA is
repsponsible for deciphering the hereditary information in DNA and uses it
to synthesize proteins. - What is the role of RNA?
DNA, found in the nucleus contains vast amount of hereditary inforamtion,
responible for inhereitable characteristic os living organisms. - What is the
role of DNA?
,3' GGUCAUCG 5'5' CCAGUAGC 3'There are 2 bonds formed between A and
U, and 3 bonds between G and C. - Complete the following RNA strand,
and indicate how many bonds are formed for each complementary pair:
3' GGUCAUCG 5'5' CC AGC 3'
Restricts movement of materials in and out of the cell & Prevents essential
nutrients from escaping - The plasma membrane
6 - How many carbon atoms are present in glucose?
False
Only eukaryotic cells contain its genetic material within a nucleus. - True
of False: The genetic material within a prokaryotic cell is contained within
a membrane-enclosed region.
True - True or False: Prokaryotic cells can be subdivided into Bacteria and
Archaea.
True
Archaea can often be found in harsh conditions such as high salt levels,
high acid conditions, high temperatures and even oxygen-poor conditions.
- True or False: Archaea is noted for its ability to survive under harsh
conditions.
Correct!
Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista - Which of the following microorganisms
are considered to be Eukarya? Select all that apply.
1. Light (sunlight)
2. chemical (sugars) - Microorganisms classified as Plantae obtain most of
their energy by converting [answer1] energy into [answer2] energy.
, Algae, Amoeba - Which of the following are considered Protista? Select all
that apply.
Protein synthesis - The function of the ribosome is
True - True or False: Protista retain a unicellular classification, as they are
unable to form tissue layers.
cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells and in the ER of eukaryotic cells. - Where
are ribosomes located?
Cell envelope - The combination of the cell membrane and the outer
membrane is referred to as the
To produce energy (ATP) - The function of the mitochondria is
False - True or False. All multicellular microorganisms classified as Animalia
are autotropic.
True - True or False: Metabolism is a controlled set of biochemical reactions
that occur in living organisms in order to maintain life.
False - True or False: Enzymes slow down chemical reactions to conserve
energy.
A cofactor is a small chemical component that assists an enzyme during
the catalysis reactions. A cofactor is usually metal ions. - What is a
cofactor?
Catabolism is the process of breaking down larger molecules into useful
energy sources. - Define catabolism
