Biology test questions - How are my answers

In summary, in Eukaryotic cells, there are five main organelles that play important roles in various cellular functions. These include the endoplasmic reticulum, which is involved in protein and lipid synthesis, the golgi apparatus, which processes and packages molecules, the mitochondrion, which produces ATP through cellular respiration, the lysosome, which digests molecules and foreign invaders, and the centrosome, which organizes microtubules in animal cells. As for the evolution of plants, key events include marine plants moving to land, the development of a waterproofing system, the evolution of vascular tissue, and the ability to reproduce through seeds.

Q.) Name five organelles found in Eukaryotic cells and outline their function.

A.)
Endoplasmic reticulum - Network of membranes which are continuous with the nuclear envelope. The is involved in protein synthesis. It can produce these proteins because it has ribosomes embedded in its membranes. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of lipids such as steroids.

Golgi apparatus - The golgi apparatus is an organelle consisting of plate like structures called cisternae. The golgi apparatus acts as the cells molecule packaging and processing center by processing molecules received from the endoplasmic reticulum and sending them to other organelles or the cell membrane for exocytosis.

Mitochondrion - Is a double membrane bound organelle which produces all of the cells ATP through cellular respiration.

Lysosome - Is a spherical membrane bound organelle which contains digestive enzymes called acid hydrolases. Lysosomes digest small molecules for the cell as well as foreign invaders such as bacteria delivered by macrophages.

Centrosome - Is an organelle consisting of 2 barrel shaped subunits called centrioles. The centrosome acts as the microtubule organiing center for animal cells during.Q.) Describe the 4 key events in the evolution of plants.

A.)
1.) Marine plants moved to land forming the first land plants which were bryophytes.
2.) Land plants developed a waterproofing system consisting of cuticles and stroma. This allowed to store water and as a result to inhabit dryer land because they could store rain water rather than relying a constant supply of water from their surroundings.
3.) Land plants developed vascular tissue consisting of cells with secondary cell walls with a tough structural protein called lignin. This new vascular system allowed plants to grow upright and tall because the vascular tissue could resist gravity and deliver water to all the cells throughout the plant and the lignin in the secondary cell walls was the key to the plants structural stability.
4.) Plants developed the ability to reproduce through seeds forming the first gymnosperms.

first one looks okay, albeit spelling mistakes
i'm not sure about the second one since i never learned about the evolution of plants

This allowed plants to reproduce without the need for water and allowed them to inhabit even drier environments. Later, flowering plants evolved, which further increased their ability to adapt and thrive in various environments.
 

1. What is the purpose of biology tests?

Biology tests are used to assess a person's understanding and knowledge of biological concepts and principles. They are important for evaluating a student's progress and comprehension in the subject.

2. How are biology test questions created?

Biology test questions are typically created by subject matter experts, such as biology teachers or professors, who have a thorough understanding of the subject. They use their knowledge and experience to develop questions that cover important concepts and assess the depth of a student's understanding.

3. Can biology test questions be subjective or are they all multiple choice?

Biology test questions can be both subjective and multiple choice. Some questions may require students to write out an explanation or draw a diagram, while others may have multiple options to choose from. This allows for a more comprehensive assessment of a student's understanding of the subject.

4. How are biology test questions graded?

The grading of biology test questions can vary depending on the type of question. Multiple choice questions are typically graded by a computer, while subjective questions are graded by a teacher or professor based on a rubric. In both cases, the accuracy and completeness of the answer are taken into consideration.

5. What should I do if I don't understand a biology test question?

If you come across a biology test question that you don't understand, it is important to ask for clarification from your teacher or professor. They can provide further explanation or examples to help you better understand the question. It is also helpful to review your notes and textbook to reinforce your understanding of the topic.
