  1. These organelles, once free-living bacteria that were engulfed by early eukaryotes, now produce most of a cell's ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.

    • Mitochondria
    • Ribosomes
    • Golgi apparatus
    • Endoplasmic reticulum
  2. In this phase of cell division, chromosomes line up along the middle of the cell, attached to spindle fibers at their centromeres.

    • Prophase
    • Metaphase
    • Anaphase
    • Telophase
  3. This molecule carries amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis, matching its anticodon to messenger RNA codons.

    • Messenger RNA
    • Ribosomal RNA
    • Transfer RNA
    • Small nuclear RNA
  4. Water molecules moving across a selectively permeable membrane from areas of low solute concentration to high solute concentration describes this process.

    • Osmosis
    • Diffusion
    • Active transport
    • Facilitated diffusion
  5. This nitrogen base pairs exclusively with adenine in DNA through two hydrogen bonds, following Chargaff's rules of base pairing.

    • Guanine
    • Thymine
    • Cytosine
    • Uracil
  6. These tiny cellular structures read messenger RNA sequences and assemble amino acids into polypeptide chains during translation.

    • Lysosomes
    • Centrioles
    • Nucleoli
    • Ribosomes
  7. This phase of cellular respiration occurs in the cytoplasm without oxygen and breaks glucose into two pyruvate molecules while producing a small net gain of ATP.

    • Glycolysis
    • Krebs cycle
    • Electron transport chain
    • Oxidative phosphorylation
  8. The enzyme that unwinds the double helix and separates DNA strands during replication by breaking hydrogen bonds between base pairs is called this.

    • DNA polymerase
    • DNA ligase
    • Helicase
    • Primase
