- Q1
A scientist performs an experiment and asks other scientists around the world to replicate it. Why would other scientists most likely try to perform the same experiment?
Confirm the results
To see if weather in various regions would affect the results
Verifying a hypothesis is a law
To see if the experiment would be less expensive
45s - Q2
Christy wants to find out if the birds that visit the bird feeders in her backyard would rather build nests in birdhouses or in trees. She puts a birdhouse next to the feeder containing sunflower seeds and hangs a feeder containing cracked corn from a tree. She observes the birds’ nesting activities over the next two weeks and records her observations. Which of the following would improve Christy’s investigation?
Set them up closer to each other
Use the same kind of food
Set up a 3rd feeder with fruit
Put more food in the feeders
60s - Q3
Based on the information in the table, what would be one effect of an injured pancreas?
The body would be unable to process starches, proteins, and fats
The blood levels of monosaccharides would increase
The levels of the enzymes amylase, trypsin, and lipase would increase
The absorption of amino acids would be more efficient
60s - Q4
A scientist performs an experiment to see if acids have an effect on the health of a particular type of plant. Three sets of plants were treated with acidic solutions of known pH while the control set was treated with a solution of neutral pH. What is the best conclusion for this experiment?
High acidity is harmful to this type of plant
High acidity is helpful to this type of plant
Acid has no effect on the health of this plant
Low acidity is harmful to this type of plant
120s - Q5
Crystal violet is a dye that is used to stain the outer layer of certain bacterial cells and differentiate them from other types of cells. Provided is an image of bacteria cells that have been stained with crystal violet. What type of microscope would be used to obtain the image provided?
Dissecting Microscope
Transmission Microscope
Scanning Microscope
Compound Light Microscope
60s - Q6
A scientist wants to examine the internal structure of a mitochondria in a dead animal cell. Which microscope should the scientist use to produce an image to be studied with his scientific team?
Transmission Electron Microscope
Compound Light Microscope
Scanning Electron Microscope
Dissecting Microscope
45s - Q7
Jose has a track meet tomorrow and needs to run a 400 m sprint (1 lap around a track). His friend tells him not to forget to eat a protein based meal for dinner and to bring a carbohydrate based snack for after the race. Should Jose listen to his friend?
No, he should eat a lipid before the race for short-term energy and a protein after the race for muscle recovery
No, he should eat a lipid before the race for long-term energy and a carbohydrate after the race for short-term energy
No, he should eat a carbohydrate before the race for short-term energy and a protein after the race for muscle recovery
No, he should eat a carbohydrate before the race for short-term energy and a lipid after the race for long-term energy
120s - Q8
You are looking at visual structure of a macromolecule that has fatty acid tails in the shape of an "E". What is the monomer of this macromolecule?
Nucleotide
Monosaccharide
Triglyceride
Polysaccharide
45s - Q9
Looking at the graph above shows how an enzyme can affect the energy of a chemical reaction. Notice that the enzyme is represented by the RED line and the black line shows you a reaction without an enzyme. What is the best conclusion we can make about what an enzyme does to the activation energy of a chemical reaction?
Enzymes lower the activation energy required for a chemical reaction to occur
Enzymes make chemical reactions slower
Enzymes increase the activation energy required for a chemical reaction to occur
Enzymes can only work in human bodies
120s - Q10
According to the graph shown, which enzyme would you expect to find in an organism that is living in a hot spring?
Enzyme X
Enzyme Y
60s - Q11
Based on the graph shown, is enzyme X able to operate at 75 degrees?
Yes, it will still be very effective
No, it's not at it's optimal temperature
Yes, but it's not that effective
No, it's too low to operate
120s - Q12
Which Macromolecule & Monomer is this?
Protein (Amino Acid)
Carbohydrate (Disaccharide)
Carbohydrate (Polysaccharide)
Nucleic Acid (Nucleotide)
45s - Q13
You notice a stranger on the bus has this image tattooed on their neck in red ink. Immediately your brain flashes back to Mr. Chartier's biology class and you correctly identify the macromolecule to the man. Which reply back from the stranger would make the most sense?
Very nice DNA of you to remember that
When I see it, I know it's go time
It's a tribute to my grandmother who was very strong
I'm always reminded that life isn't a sprint, it's a marathon
