GENERAL BIOLOGY

Question 1

process by which a single cell divides into two or more daughter cells.

Answer 1

Cell Division

Question 2

the process by which a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells.

Answer 2

Mitosis

Question 3

the process by which a single cell divides into four daughter cells

Answer 3

Meiosis

Question 4

• Chromatin fibers in the nucleus start to
condense forming chromatids
• Chromatids, when formed, undergo
duplication to form the double stranded
chromosomes.
• Nucleolus is still visible.

Answer 4

Interphase

Question 5

• Double stranded chromosomes are
formed while nuclear envelope is
starting to disappear.
• Centrioles are double as they move
towards the opposite poles of the
cell.
• Nucleolus is still visible

Answer 5

Prophase

Question 6

• Nucleolus and nuclear envelope
disappeared completely.
• Each chromosomes receives spindle fibers
from the pair of centrioles which are
attached to kinetochores.
• Chromosomes will be able to align

Answer 6

Metaphase

Question 7

The pair of centrioles moves
completely to the opposite poles of
the cell, enabling the double
stranded chromosomes to separate
• The force given by the centrioles; a
cleavage furrow is produced.

Answer 7

Anaphase

Question 8

• Spindle fibers disappear releasing the
chromatids while nuclear envelope and
nucleolus.
Cytokinesis
• Cytokinesis is the process by which
the cell divides into two daughter
cells.
• Centrioles and all organelles are
distributed
• Complete separation of the
cytoplasm produces two identical
diploid daughter cells.

Answer 8

Telophase

Question 9

selectively permeable layer composed of two phospholipids molecules and acts as the doorway that selects the entering and exiting substances to and from the cell.

Answer 9

Cell Membrane / Plasma Membrane

Question 10

composed of hydrophilic heads
(Water-loving) and hydrophobic
heads (water-fearing).

Answer 10

Molecules

Question 11

enables big or polymer
molecules to enter or leave the cell.

Answer 11

Bulk Transport

Question 12

This happens when
the big molecules enter the cell.

Answer 12

Endocytosis

Question 13

also known as “cellular eating”

Answer 13

Phagocytosis

Question 14

also known as the “Cellular drinking”

Answer 14

Pinocytosis

Question 15

allows the cell to remove big molecules
which are usually packed by golgi apparatus

Answer 15

Exocytosis

Question 16

subtype of active transport that requires ATP.

Answer 16

Vesicular Transport

Question 17

natural tendency of
molecules to move from one
area of greater concentration
to an area if lesser
concentration.

Answer 17

Diffusion

Question 18

difference in the
concentration of molecules of
two regions is called

Answer 18

concentration gradient

Question 19

The movement of molecules
from greatest to lowest
concentration

Answer 19

Net Diffusion

Question 20

both regions receive equal amount of
molecules

Answer 20

equilibrium

Question 21

A conditions that happens if water molecules go in the cell, making the cell bigger than its normal size

Answer 21

Hypotonic Condition

Question 22

The cell release water molecules outside making the cells shrivel (Plasmolyzed)as they lose water.

Answer 22

Hypertonic Condition

Question 23

The cell will not change in shape because the concentration of water molecules in and out of it is already in equilibrium.

Answer 23

Isotonic Condition
