A person with swollen gums rinses his mouth with warm salt water, and the swelling decreases. Which of the following has occurred?

The water in the gums has moved out due to the high concentration of salt in the solution.

The swollen gums have absorbed the saltwater solution.

The saltwater solution lowers the temperature of the water in the gums.

The salt in the solution has moved against the concentration gradient.

Osmosis occurs when there is a different concentration of solute molecules on each side of the membrane. The drawing below shows a beaker containing a 30% salt solution and a suspended cell containing a 10% salt solution. What statement best describes the cell after 20 minutes?

Water will move from the cell into the beaker, resulting in a smaller cell.

Water will move from the beaker into the cell, resulting in a larger cell.

Salt will move from the cell into the beaker, resulting in a smaller cell.

Salt will move from the beaker into the cell, resulting in a larger cell.

Muscle cells are responsible for obtaining energy so the body can perform voluntary and involuntary movement. Using you knowledge about organelles and muscles, how would a muscle cell differ from other types of animal cells?

The muscle cell would have a larger golgi apparatus than other types of animal cells.

The muscle cell would have larger centrioles than the other types of animal cells.

The muscle cell would have more mitochondria than the other types of animal cells.

The muscle cell would have more endoplasmic reticulum than the other types of animal cells.

Cells found in plants and animals have similarities but can differ in function. Consider the following two organisms: a corn plant cell (Zea mays) and a camel cell (Bactrianus ferus). What is the best explanation for the difference in the cellular vacuole size between these two biotic organisms?

The camel cells’ have a small vacuole size because it does not need long term water and electrolyte storage

The corn cells’ have a small vacuole size because it does not need long term water and electrolyte storage.

The camel cells’ have a small vacuole size because it is not in contact with toxins that need to be removed from the cell.

The corn cells’ have a large vacuole size because it is in contact with many toxins in the soil which need to be removed from the cell.

Using a microscope in the science lab, Jill observed two unknown cell: Cell 1 and Cell 2. Cell 1 she identified as a plant cell and Cell 2 as an animal cell. Her teacher told her she identified the cells correctly. What did Jill most likely observe to correctly identify the cells?

Cell 1 had a cell wall and Cell 2 did not.

Cell 2 had a cell membrane and Cell 1 did not.

Cell 2 had a chloroplast and Cell 1 did not.

Cell 1 had a nucleus and Cell 2 did not.

What is the advantage of cells being so small?

The cell has a smaller surface area to volume ratio which means it can move nutrients into the cell and waste out more efficiently.

Small cells contain a greater quantity of enzymes than large cells.

Small cells do not require energy and get everything they need from osmosis.

The cell then has a larger surface area to volume ratio which means it can move nutrients into the cell and waste out more efficiently.

The rough endoplasmic reticulum is a cell structure that consists of folded membranes that contain ribosomes. What is the advantage of the folded membranes?

increases surface area in order to produce more proteins

decreases surface area in order to produce more proteins

increases volume of the edoplasmic reticulum in order to produce more energy

decreases volume of the endoplasmic reticulum in order to make more energy

If a cell’s lysosomes were damaged, which of the following would most likely occur?

The cell would be less able to break down molecules in its cytoplasm

The cell would produce more proteins than it needs.

The cell would have chloroplasts that appear yellow rather than green

The cell would be less able to regulate the amount of fluid in its cytoplasm.

Which of the following functions does active transport perform in a cell?

moving substances against a concentration gradient

packaging proteins for export from the cell

distributing enzymes throughout the cytoplasm

equalizing the concentration of water inside and outside the cell

In an emergency trauma room, a doctor accidentally gives a patient a large transfusion of distilled water directly into one of his veins instead of blood. Predict what might happen if distilled water was given to the patient instead of blood.

have serious, perhaps fatal effects because the red blood cells would tend to burst

have no unfavorable effect as long as the water was sterile

have serious, perhaps fatal effects because there would be too much fluid for the heart to pump.

have serious, perhaps fatal effects because the red blood cells would tend to shrivel

A beaker is divided into two halves, A & B, by a membrane that is freely permeable to the water and NaCl but not to protein. Side A is half-filled with a solution of 8% protein, while side B is half filled with a 2% protein solution. Predict what would happen to side A after a few hours.

The number of water molecules has increased.

The number of protein molecules has increased.

The number of water molecules has decreased.

The percentage of water has decreased.

A research group has discovered that damselflies, a type of dragonfly, are being infected by a particular type of aquatic protozoan. Both young and adult damselflies are not directly infected by the protozoan but contract the infection from the prey they eat. The graph shows the percentage of adult damselflies infected by protozoans during the summer and early fall. Which of the following conclusions is supported by the graph?

Infection in embanked ponds increased during the sampling period.

Protozoans were more common in creek-fed ponds than embanked ponds.

Protozoans reproduce more quickly in embanked ponds than creek-fed ponds.

Infection in creed-fed ponds remained constant throughout the sampling period.

An osmosis investigation was conducted using chicken eggs to represent cells with semi permeable membranes. The mass of each egg was measured to determine how much water diffused into or out of the eggs. The eggs were first soaked in vinegar to dissolve the shell. Each egg was then placed in one of three different solutions for 24 hours. The table below shows the results of the investigation. Based on this experiment, which of the following should be inferred about cells with semi permeable membranes?

Water enters the cell when placed in environments of high water concentration.

Substances other than water may also cross the cell membrane.

Substances other than water may block pores in the cell membrane.

Water leaves the cell when placed in environments with a low concentration of solutes
