experiment?

• report to the teacher

• clean the laboratory station

• locate the nearest exit

• put on safety goggles

Which device is used to determine the volume of a liquid?

This diagram shows a red blood cell in a beaker that contains a solution with a higher salt concentration than that inside the red blood cell.

What will happen to the red blood cell in this environment?

• The size of the red blood cell will remain constant.

• The red blood cell will swell at first and then shrink.

• The red blood cell will swell from absorbing salt molecules.

• The red blood cell will shrink from losing water molecules

What will most likely happen if a nonnative species is introduced into a stable ecosystem?

• The native species will change their diet, and the ecosystem will remain stable.

• The native species will move to another area, and the ecosystem will remain stable.

Why must DNA replication have to occur before a cell can divide by mitosis?

• to maintain the same number of chromosomes in the daughter cells as in the parent cell

• to cause one of the cells produced to have double the number of chromosomes as the parent cell

• to allow crossing over to occur in each of the cells produced

• to cause all of the cells produced to have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell
