Apologia Advanced Biology Module 1

Certain muscles are attached to your skeleton by tendons. Of the four tissue types, which makes up tendons?

• Nervous

• Connective

• Epithelial

• Muscular

Which three levels of organization in the human body are studied in gross anatomy?

• Cells, tissues and organelles

• Organelles, organ systems and cells

• Cells, tissues and whole organism

• Whole organism, organ systems and organs

A microbiologist is looking at a cell under a microscope. It has a large number of Golgi apparatuses in it. What is likely the major function of the cell?

• secretion of chemicals

• eating cellular waste products

• producing energy for the cell

• absorption of minerals

Substances are regularly transported in and out of the cell. If a substance is transported into a cell, what is the first structure it must pass through?

• cytoplasm

• plasma membrane

• nucleus

• cell wall

What organelle makes most of the ATP in the cell?

• Ribosomes

• Golgi apparatus

• Plasma membrane

• Mitochondria

Suppose an mRNA strand has the following nucleotides:
uracil, guanine, cytosine, uracil, adenine, adenine

What are the nucleotide sequences of the anticodons on those tRNAs?

• adenine, guanine, cytosine; adenine, adenine, and uracil

• adenine, cytosine, guanine; adenine, uracil, and uracil

• adenine, guanine, cytosine; adenine, uracil, and uracil

• adenine, uracil, and uracil; adenine, cytosine, guanine

  
  

Suppose an mRNA strand has the following nucleotides:
uracil, guanine, cytosine, uracil, adenine, adenine

How many codons are on the mRNA?

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

A human cell has 46 chromosomes. How many X shapes would there be in a metaphase illustration?

• 46

• 23

• 92

A glucose molecule travels into a cell via a carrier protein. If that process required NO ATP,

what can you say about the relative concentration of glucose inside and outside of the cell?

• the concentration of glucose inside the cell is higher than that outside the cell

• the concentration of glucose inside the cell is the same as that outside the cell

• the concentration of glucose inside the cell is lower than that outside the cell

A calcium ion travels outside a cell from the inside. This process requires ATP.

What can you say about the relative concentration of calcium ions inside and outside of the cell?

• the concentration of calcium is the same outside the cell than inside.

• the concentration of calcium is lower outside the cell than inside.

• the concentration of calcium is higher outside the cell than inside.
