Biology EOC Review (Comprehensive)

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in a cell?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, translating messenger RNA (mRNA) into polypeptide chains.

Front

Which body systems are involved in the process of sneezing?

Back

The muscular, immune, nervous, and respiratory systems interact to allow a person to sneeze.

Front

What occurs during mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the part of the cell cycle where the cell divides, resulting in two daughter cells.

Front

Where does translation occur in the cell?

Back

Translation occurs at the ribosomes, where mRNA is translated into proteins.

Front

What is the central dogma of biology?

Back

The central dogma of biology describes the flow of genetic information from DNA to messenger RNA (mRNA) to protein synthesis.

Front

What is the role of mitochondria in a cell?

Back

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell, generating ATP through cellular respiration.

Front

What is the function of the Golgi apparatus?

Back

The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.

Front

What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Back

Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and organelles.

Front

What is homeostasis?

Back

Homeostasis is the process by which living organisms maintain a stable internal environment despite external changes.

Front

What is the role of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA (transfer RNA) carries amino acids to the ribosome during translation, matching them to the corresponding codons on the mRNA.
