Biology
A. Coal
B. Petroleum
C. Solar energy
D. Natural gas
Answer: Solar energy is continuously replenished and classified as a renewable resource.
Biology
A. A group of the same species
B. Living organisms and their physical environment
C. A community of plants only
D. All organisms on Earth
Answer: An ecosystem includes all living (biotic) and non-living (abiotic) components in an area.
Biology
A. Deoxyribonucleic acid
B. Dinitrogen acid
C. Deoxynitrate acid
D. Dioxyribonucleic acid
Answer: DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) is the molecule that carries genetic information in all living organisms.
Biology
A. Carries genetic code from DNA
B. Translates mRNA to protein
C. Transfers amino acids to ribosomes
D. Stores genetic information
Answer: tRNA (transfer RNA) carries specific amino acids to the ribosome during translation.
Biology
A. Epidermis
B. Mesophyll
C. Vascular bundle
D. Cuticle
Answer: Mesophyll cells contain chloroplasts and are the primary site of photosynthesis.
Biology
A. HBB gene
B. CFTR gene
C. BRCA1 gene
D. TP53 gene
Answer: The CFTR gene codes for a chloride channel protein; its mutation causes thick mucus buildup.
Biology
A. Mitochondria
B. Ribosome
C. Chloroplast
D. Vacuole
Answer: Chloroplasts are called the kitchen of the cell because they synthesize food through photosynthesis.
Biology
A. Alanine
B. Glycine
C. Leucine
D. Serine
Answer: Leucine is one of the nine essential amino acids that cannot be synthesized by the human body.
Biology
A. Carbon cycle
B. Nitrogen cycle
C. Water cycle
D. Phosphorus cycle
Answer: The phosphorus cycle occurs mainly through rock, soil, and water without a significant atmospheric phase.
Biology
A. Transcription
B. Translation
C. Replication
D. Transformation
Answer: DNA replication produces an identical copy of DNA before cell division.
Biology
A. Soil
B. Water
C. Sunlight
D. Bacteria
Answer: Bacteria are living organisms and thus biotic components of an ecosystem.
Biology
A. Skin color
B. Height
C. Roan coat color in cattle
D. Tongue rolling
Answer: In roan cattle, both red and white hairs are expressed equally, showing co-dominance.
Biology
A. Bile production
B. Detoxification
C. Insulin production
D. Glycogen storage
Answer: Insulin is produced by the beta cells of the pancreas, not the liver.
Biology
A. Charles Darwin
B. Gregor Mendel
C. Louis Pasteur
D. Robert Koch
Answer: Gregor Mendel established the fundamental laws of inheritance through his work with pea plants.
Biology
A. Helicase
B. Primase
C. Ligase
D. Polymerase
Answer: DNA ligase seals the gaps between Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand during replication.
Biology
A. Neutrophil
B. Eosinophil
C. B-lymphocyte
D. Monocyte
Answer: B-lymphocytes differentiate into plasma cells that produce antibodies.
Biology
A. Sexual reproduction
B. Asexual reproduction
C. Cross-fertilization
D. Pollination
Answer: Asexual reproduction involves a single parent and produces clones without genetic variation.
Biology
A. Tuberculosis
B. Malaria
C. Cholera
D. Hepatitis B
Answer: Malaria is transmitted by female Anopheles mosquitoes carrying the Plasmodium parasite.
Biology
A. Chromosomal mutation
B. Point mutation
C. Deletion
D. Insertion
Answer: A point mutation involves a change in a single nucleotide base pair in the DNA sequence.
Biology
A. Replication
B. Transcription
C. Translation
D. Transformation
Answer: Translation occurs at ribosomes where mRNA is decoded to build a polypeptide chain.
