Study Notes

Bord Exam MCQ Biology: Cell Biology

In this article, we will dive into the world of cell biology, one of the most important and fascinating aspects of biology. Cell biology is the study of the structure, function, and behavior of cells, as well as the processes that occur within them. We will explore various topics related to cell biology, including cell structure, cell division, and cellular processes.

Cell Structure

Cells, the building blocks of all living organisms, can be classified based on their structure and function. Prokaryotic cells lack a defined nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have a defined nucleus and various other organelles. The cell membrane is a crucial component of all cells, as it protects the cell and regulates the movement of molecules in and out of the cell.

Cell Division

Cell division is the process by which cells reproduce and create new cells. There are two main types of cell division: mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in the formation of two genetically identical daughter cells. Meiosis, on the other hand, leads to the formation of four genetically unique daughter cells. These processes are essential for the growth and development of multicellular organisms.

Cellular Processes

Cellular processes are the functions that cells perform to maintain life and carry out their roles within an organism. Some key cellular processes include:

  1. Endocytosis and Exocytosis: These processes involve the uptake and release of substances by cells, respectively. Endocytosis involves the uptake of large molecules or particles, while exocytosis involves the release of cellular waste or secretion of substances.

  2. Respiration: This process involves the breakdown of glucose to produce ATP, the energy currency of cells. It occurs in two parts: glycolysis, which takes place in the cytoplasm, and the citric acid cycle, which occurs in the mitochondria.

  3. DNA Replication: This process involves the creation of a copy of the DNA molecule, ensuring that genetic information is passed on to daughter cells during cell division.

  4. Protein Synthesis: This process involves the creation of proteins, which are essential for various cellular functions. It occurs in two stages: transcription, in which DNA is transcribed into RNA, and translation, in which RNA is translated into proteins.

Practice Questions

Now that you have a better understanding of cell biology, test your knowledge with the following practice questions:

  1. Which type of cell division results in the formation of two genetically identical daughter cells? a) Mitosis b) Meiosis

  2. What is the main function of the cell membrane? a) To protect the cell and regulate the movement of molecules in and out of the cell b) To provide a structure for the cell

  3. Which cellular process is responsible for the breakdown of glucose to produce ATP? a) Respiration b) DNA Replication

Answers

  1. a) Mitosis
  2. a) To protect the cell and regulate the movement of molecules in and out of the cell
  3. a) Respiration
