Biology 1050-Final Exam Questions and
100% Correct Answers
Pseudoscience ✅Making scientific claims without any data
Anecdotal evidence ✅When people make claims on a small amount of individuals.
Personal data. Very small sample size
Prokaryotic Cells ✅No nucleus. DNA is in the cytoplasm. Internal structures not
organized into compartments.
Eukaryotic Cells ✅DNA contained in nucleus. Internal structures organized into
compartments. Cytoplasm contains specialized structures called organelles
Cellular Respiration ✅The process that converts energy stored in food to ATP. To
provide energy, ATP > ADP+P To store energy, ADP + P> ATP using energy from the
sun or food
Basal metabolic rate ✅The energy use of a resting but awake and alert individual.
Energy required in order for brain to work, breathe, digest food, etc..
Type 1 Diabetes ✅Not related to weight. Insulin dependent diabetes. Anyone with this
has to take insulin injections because the body cannot make own insulin
Type 2 Diabetes ✅Considered adult-onset. Tends to be much more common in those
who are overweight or obese. Over time peoples bodys just stop responding to insulin.
Can often control this with diet and exercise-less sugar and more exercise. Sometimes
has to be controlled with insulin injections
Systolic Blood Pressure ✅pressure when heart pumps
Diastolic Blood Pressure ✅pressure when heart releases
LDL ✅Carry cholesterol around the body. Bad cholesterol
HDL ✅Removes excess cholesterol from body to exit in feces. Good cholesterol
Carbs ✅Main energy source
Monosaccharides ✅simple sugars- supplies with a short supply of energy
, Polysaccharides ✅Complex carbs-provides lots of nutrition wiht a longer supply of
energy
Dietary Fiber ✅In fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Good for digestive track. Clears
out digestive system
Saturated Fat ✅Has the maximum number of hydogens bonded to the carbons. Fatty
acids have straight tails and can be packed together tightly. Tend to be solid at room
temperature. More likely to be stored as fat in the body
Unsaturated Fat ✅Has at least one carbon to carbon double bond. Fatty acids have
kinked tails and cannot be packed together tightly. Tend to be liquid at room
temperature. Less likely to be stored as fat in the body
Trans Fat ✅Unsaturated Fats + hydrogen > saturated fat; process called
hydrogenation-keeps food from spoiling. Not healthy
Cholesterol ✅The "base steroid" from which our bodies produce other steroids.
Proteins ✅Main structural component of life. Made of amino acids. Enzymes are
proteins that assist in chemical reactions. Structural. Protective. Regulatory.
Contractive. Transport.
Human Digestive System ✅Mouth-throat-esophagus-stomach-small intestine- large
intestine
Transcription ✅Occurs in nucleus. Process that uses the instructions in DNA to make
RNA
Translation ✅Occurs in cytoplasm. Process that uses the instructions in the RNA to
make the proteins
Embryonic Stem Cell ✅From IVF, umbilical cords, cloning. Can become virtually any
call in body. Easier to grow in lab. Can divide an unlimited number of times
Adult stem cells ✅Partially specialized so can only become a related cell type. Difficult
to grow in lab. Can only divide a limited number of times
Binary Fission ✅Type of cell division that prokaryotes undergo. An exact copy of the
cells DNA is created. Cell elongates and begins to pinch in two. Daughter cells are
formed
Mitosis ✅Eukaryotic Cell Division. Simple cell division. For growth, repair, asexual
reproduction. Mistakes can lead to cancer
