Accepted Answer

Presence of a peptidoglycan cell wall

Question 4

A patient presents with severe diarrhea after drinking contaminated water. The causative agent is a protozoan that forms cysts and is transmitted via the fecal-oral route. Which pathogen is most likely responsible?

Accepted Answer

Giardia lamblia

Question 5

Which of the following best describes the main difference between animal and plant cell extracellular structures?

Accepted Answer

Plant cells have a rigid cell wall composed of cellulose, while animal cells have an extracellular matrix rich in collagen.

Question 6

Which of the following is a function of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton?

Accepted Answer

Maintaining cell shape and facilitating intracellular transport

Question 7

Which eukaryotic organelle is responsible for packaging and modifying proteins for secretion?

Accepted Answer

Golgi apparatus

Question 8

Which of the following correctly matches a eukaryotic cell structure with its function?

Accepted Answer

Flagella: locomotion via whip-like motion

Question 9

Which of the following evolutionary developments most directly enabled the emergence of the eukaryotic cell?

Accepted Answer

Acquisition of endosymbiotic bacteria that became mitochondria

Question 10

A scientist is comparing the ribosomes of a eukaryotic cell and a prokaryotic cell. Which of the following statements is correct?

Accepted Answer

Eukaryotic ribosomes are 80S, while prokaryotic ribosomes are 70S.

Question 11

Which of the following best explains why mitochondria and chloroplasts are considered semi-autonomous organelles?

Accepted Answer

They contain their own DNA and can replicate independently of the cell cycle.

Question 12

Which of the following structures is found in eukaryotic cells but not in prokaryotic cells?

Accepted Answer

Nucleus

Question 13

A mutation in a eukaryotic cell prevents the formation of microtubules. Which cellular process would be most directly affected?

Accepted Answer

Chromosome separation during mitosis

Question 14

Which of the following is a key difference between the genetic material of prokaryotes and eukaryotes?

Accepted Answer

Eukaryotic DNA is linear and contained within a nucleus, while prokaryotic DNA is circular and located in the nucleoid region.

Question 15

Which of the following best describes the function of lysosomes in eukaryotic cells?

Accepted Answer

They contain hydrolytic enzymes for intracellular digestion.

Question 16

Which of the following is a correct statement about the evolution of eukaryotic cells?

Accepted Answer

The engulfment of aerobic bacteria led to the formation of mitochondria.

Question 17

Which of the following structures is directly involved in the movement of eukaryotic cells?

Accepted Answer

Flagella composed of microtubules arranged in a $$9+2$$ pattern

Question 18

Which of the following is a function of the eukaryotic plasma membrane?

Accepted Answer

Regulating the movement of substances into and out of the cell

Question 19

Which of the following is a unique feature of eukaryotic chromosomes compared to prokaryotic chromosomes?

Accepted Answer

Eukaryotic chromosomes are linear and associated with histone proteins.

Question 20

A researcher is studying a eukaryotic cell that lacks functional vacuoles. Which process would be most directly impaired?

Accepted Answer

Storage of water and maintenance of turgor pressure
