Multiple Choice

Scenario 1:

The human body has over 200 different types of cells. White blood cells have lots of lysosomes that are used to break down any bacteria or viruses that get deep inside our body. Muscle and Nerve cells have lots of mitochondria. Cells in our pancreas have many Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) and Golgi to create insulin. Cells in our blood vessel walls have special amounts of vesicles that store proteins that help our blood clot if the vessel is damaged.

Question 1: Which statement below is true based on the reading

3

Muscles make lots of proteins for other body tissues

4

Muscles are an important in reducing the carbon dioxide in our blood

Question 2: How did you determine the correct solution for the previous question?

1

The gummy bear had equal amounts of particles on the inside and outside so water does not need to move anywhere

2

The gummy bear has more particles on the inside then the outside causing water to flow into it (it swelled up)

3

The gummy bear shrank because there was particles in the water then in the bear. This encouraged he water to leave the bear making it shrivel.
