Study Notes

Quiz One

Zoology focuses on Animalia kingdom organisms.
Scientific method does not include publishing a paper.
Animals are not in the archaea domain.
Prokaryotes are bacterial cells lacking nuclei and membrane-bound organelles.
Animal cells lack chloroplasts.
Lysosomes break down non-functional organelles and participate in programmed cell death.
Smooth ER produces membranes, lipids, and detoxifies substances.
All eukaryotes belong to Domain Eukarya.
Golgi apparatus and nucleus are found only in eukaryotic cells.
Ribosomes and cell membranes are found in all cells.
The lowest level of biological organization able to perform all life activities is the cell.

Quiz Two

Cell respiration components exclude DNA replication.
The cell cycle includes G1, S, G2, and M phases.
Prophase involves the dissolving of the nuclear membrane and chromatin condensation.
Chromosomes pulled apart from the centromere and migrate in anaphase.
Chromosomes lined up in metaphase along the middle plane.
Cytokinesis forms new cells from mitosis.
Telophase involves cell migration to opposite poles and nuclear reformation.
Mitosis is part of the cell cycle but not interphase.
Meiosis involves the division of sex cells, not body cells.
Crossing over occurs in prophase I of meiosis, not mitosis.

Quiz Three

Primary animal tissues are endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm.
Glycolysis, citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation are part of cell respiration.
Cellular respiration degrades glucose, uses oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, ATP, heat and water.
The electron transport chain produces most ATP during cellular respiration.

Additional Information

Humans produce CO2 as a waste product during cellular respiration in the Krebs cycle.
Animals in the phylum Porifera lack true tissues.
All of the following are animal tissues, except simple cuboidal tissue.
Experimentation in the scientific method includes a control group.
Interphase does not include mitosis.
Centromeres separate, and chromosomes move toward opposite poles during anaphase.
Chromosomes line up in the center during metaphase.
In Darwins mechanism, modifications through natural selection involve populations, not individuals.
Hydrolytic enzymes in animal cells are packaged within lysosomes.
CO2 is produced during the citric acid cycle.
Pea plants are suitable models for Mendel's experiments, excluding their longevity.
The Science of zoology is the study of animals.
The results of Mendel's experiments highlight discrete inheritance.
Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm outside the mitochondria.
Electron transport occurs in the mitochondrial cristae and involves the generation of ATP.
Alleles can be identical or different, dominant or recessive, representing alternative forms of a gene.
