- Q1The function of the plant cell structure shown in the enlargement in the picture below is touse energy from sunlight to make sugarprovide support for the celldirect all the cell’s activitiesregulate substances that enter and exit the cell30sBIOL.4b
- Q2The table below lists the types of white blood cells found in humans, indicates how abundant they are, and describes their functions. The two most abundant types of white blood cells may both be involved in a response to which of these?AllergensInjuryBacterial infectionHeat30sBIOL.4b
- Q3Some students used vinegar to dissolve away the shells of three eggs and used these eggs as models of human red blood cells. The students observed the changes in the eggs when they were placed in different solutions. Which statement best describes the role of the cell membrane in this model?The cell membrane removes solutes from the environment.The cell membrane is an impermeable barrier that prevents water from entering the cell.The cell membrane allows water to enter and leave the cell.The cell membrane allows solutes to enter the cell, which causes the cell to shrink.30sBIOL.4b
- Q4This diagram shows cellular activity across a cell membrane. Which two processes does this diagram most directly model?Transport of molecules and energy conversionsHomeostasis and transport of moleculesSynthesis of new molecules and homeostasisEnergy conversions and synthesis of new molecules30sBIOL.4b
- Q5Students use a microscope to look for structures present in four different cells. The students placed an X for each structure that was viewed for each cell on the table shown. Which cell that was viewed is most likely a prokaryote?Cell WCell XCell ZCell Y30sBIOL.4b
- Q6A type of cellular transport is shown. Which description best identifies this type of cellular transport?Facilitated diffusion, because energy is being used to move molecules with the concentration gradientOsmosis, because energy is not being used to move molecules with the concentration gradientEndocytosis, because energy is not being used to move molecules against the concentration gradient.Active transport, because energy is being used to move molecules against the concentration gradient.30sBIOL.4b
- Q7The diagram shows molecules that a mitochondrion uses and produces during a cellular process. Which other molecule is a product of this process?DNAATPRNAC6H12O630sBIOL.4b
- Q8In a study of physical endurance, researches observed significant increases in the heart rates and breathing rates of participants immediately after they engaged in strenuous exercise. Which statement best explains the increase in the heart rate and the breathing rate during exercise?An increase in muscle activity causes increases in glucose levels in red blood cells.Muscle cells increase in temperature and require fluid to reduce the temperatureThe water concentration in the blood increasesBody cells require increased oxygen as energy is expended30sBIOL.4b
- Q9The diagram illustrates the activity of vesicles during a cellular process. Which statement best explains the function of the vesicles?Extracting portions of the golgi apparatus to be regenerated for growth within the cellTransporting packaged molecules from the Golgi apparatus to the be released out of the cellExchanging genetic information between the golgi apparatus of separate cellsDelivering packaged materials to the golgi apparatus for protein synthesis30sBIOL.4b
- Q10When mammals get an infection, their internal body temperature often rises 2 to 3 degrees Celsius. The body gets the energy it needs to react to an infection by-Increasing the rate of cellular divisiondecreasing the rate at which carbon dioxide is removed from the cell.decreasing the rate of glucose movement into the cellincreasing the rate of cellular respiration in mitochondria30sBIOL.4b
