CSULB BIOL 200 EXAM 1 WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS
active transmembrane transport - ANSWER-requires energy (low concentration to high
concentration)
adp - ANSWER-compound that remains when a phosphate group is removed from ATP,
releasing energy
anabolism - ANSWER-ana the builder; builds things up and creates energy (ex
photosynthesis)
atom - ANSWER-smallest unit of matter that retains elemental properties
atomic mass - ANSWER-protons + neutrons
atp adenosine triphosphate - ANSWER-main energy source that cells use for most of
their work
calvin cycle - ANSWER-light-independent reactions of photosynthesis in which energy
from ATP and NADPH is used to build high-energy compounds such as sugar
catabolism - ANSWER-break dancing cat; breaks things down and releases energy (ex
cellular respiration)
catalysis - ANSWER-the acceleration of a chemical reaction by a catalyst
cell membrane - ANSWER-cell structure that controls which substances can enter or
leave the cell
cellular respiration - ANSWER-uses sugar to make ATP (carbon and water is released)
cellular respiration equation - ANSWER-C6H12O6+6O2 ---> 6CO2+6H2O+ATP
centrioles - ANSWER-cell organelle that aids in cell division in animal cells only
centrosome - ANSWER-structure in animal cells containing centrioles from which the
spindle fibers develop.
chemical bonds - ANSWER-interactions between atoms
chloroplast - ANSWER-site of photosynthesis and contains chlorophyll
, chromatin - ANSWER-granular material visible within the nucleus; consists of DNA
tightly coiled around proteins
covalent bonds - ANSWER-sharing of electrons
cytoskeleton - ANSWER-network of protein filaments within some cells that helps the
cell maintain its shape and is involved in many forms of cell movement
diffusion - ANSWER-natural process of particles spreading out (high concentration to
low concentration)
electrons - ANSWER-negatively charged particles
element - ANSWER-type of atom that has certain characteristics
endocytosis - ANSWER-process by which a section of the plasma membrane of a cell
bulge inward to form a pocket around extracellular fluid or molecules that eventually
pinches off to become a vesicle contained within a cell
endoplasmic reticulum - ANSWER-cell structure that forms a maze of passageways in
which proteins and other materials are carried from one part of the cell to another
enzymes - ANSWER-catalyze chemical reactions in organisms
eukaryotic cell - ANSWER-large, more complex, single or many cells, plants, fungus,
animals, protists
exocytosis - ANSWER-release of substances out a cell by the fusion of a vesicle with
the membrane.
flagellum - ANSWER-a long, whiplike structure that helps a cell to move
glucose - ANSWER-C6H12O6
golgi aparatus - ANSWER-sorts and packages proteins made by ribosomes on rough
ER
gylcolysis - ANSWER-the breakdown of glucose by enzymes, releasing energy and
pyruvic acid
hydrophilic - ANSWER-water loving
hypertonic - ANSWER-having a higher concentration of solute than another solution
hypotonic - ANSWER-having a lower concentration of solute than another solution
