Some examples from this set of practice questions

1.

What is the difference between plant and animal cells in terms of cell structure?

Answer: Unlike plant cells, animal cells do not have a cell wall, chloroplasts, a large permanent vacuole, a regular shape and do not store excess energy as starch

2.

What is glycogen, where is it stored and what is its purpose?

Answer: What: Glycogen is the storage form of energy in animal organisms Storage: It is stored in the liver tissue Purpose: Provides a store of energy that is easier to utilize than fat storage, as fat takes longer to convert to energy

3.

What is one organelle that organisms with a high metabolic rate have a lot of and why?

Answer: Organisms with a high respiration rate that need to produce a lot of energy have many mitochondria as they are the site of respiration where energy is synthesized. This counts for both animal and plant organisms

4.

What is the function of chlorophyll and where is it found?

Answer: Chlorophyll is the green pigment that gives green plants their color as well as acts as an energy transducer, as it absorbs light energy and converts it into chemical energy (glucose) via photosynthesis. h Chlorophyll is stored in chloroplasts within plant cells, specifically in the palisade layer

5.

What are stem cells and why are they useful in the field of medicine?

Answer: Stem cells are non-specific cells, meaning that they can become any specialized cell and can thus be used to replicate living tissue and eventually also organs, potentially being able to save lives.
