Miller and Levine Biology Chapter 11 Review

If a cubical cell with 2-cm sides doubles the dimensions of its sides, what change occurs to the ratio of its surface area to volume?

• The ratio is quartered.

• The ratio is quadrupled.

• The ratio is doubled.

• The ratio is halved.

If the side of a cubical cell doubled, what would the cell then require? Select all the correct answers.

• eight times more nutrients

• four times more nutrients

• to excrete eight times more waste

• to excrete four times more waste

Which of the following is NOT a useful purpose is served by cell division in a multicellular organism?

• to ensure that a cell does not become too large

• to produce new cells during an organism's growth

• to ensure all cells remain undifferentiated

• to replace damaged cells and tissues

Bacteria reproduce _______ through cell fission. However, in another process, a tube of cytoplasm can temporarily connect two bacterial cells. Some DNA passes through this tube. Like ________ reproduction, this process causes genetic variation. However, it does not produce offspring.

• sexually, sexual

• asexually, asexual

• sexually, asexual

• asexually, sexual

Paramecium is a single-celled protozoan. The graph shows a typical growth curve for a colony of Paramecium. Two Paramecium cells sometimes engage in a sexual process in which genetic materials are exchanged, but no new cells are produced. Which additional observation would provides the strongest evidence that Paramecium reproduces asexually?

• The colony begins decreasing in number after Day 14.

• The cells in the colony are genetically different from one another.

• The cells in the colony become smaller over time.

• The cells in the colony are genetically identical.
