Biological Concepts and Systems Quiz

DNA serves as the blueprint for protein synthesis.

Mitochondria produce energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration.

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy for use in photosynthesis.

The circulatory system transports nutrients, oxygen, and hormones throughout the body.

Prokaryotic cells lack membrane-bound organelles and are typically single-celled organisms.

The Golgi apparatus processes, modifies, and packages proteins for secretion or delivery.

Ribosomes are the cellular machinery responsible for protein synthesis.

Photosynthesis converts sunlight into chemical energy stored in glucose.

The nervous system coordinates body movements and responses to stimuli.

Amylase catalyzes the hydrolysis of starch into sugars.

Connective tissue provides support and connects various body parts.

Mitosis is the process of cell division for growth and repair.

Alveoli facilitate the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs.

Thymine is one of the four nitrogenous bases found in DNA, pairing with adenine.

Cells are the basic structural and functional units of all living organisms.

RNA carries genetic information from DNA to ribosomes for protein synthesis.

Insulin lowers blood sugar levels by promoting cellular uptake of glucose.

DNA replication occurs during the Synthesis (S) phase of the cell cycle.

White blood cells defend the body against pathogens and foreign invaders.

During respiration, oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide is released.
