Explain how the structure of DNA determines the structure of proteins.

• DNA is composed of amino acids that directly form proteins.

• DNA sequences are transcribed into RNA, which is then translated into proteins.

• DNA directly interacts with ribosomes to form proteins.

• DNA is converted into lipids that form proteins.

Describe the role of the cell membrane in cellular transport.

• It acts as a rigid barrier that prevents all substances from entering or leaving the cell.

• It selectively allows substances to enter and exit the cell, maintaining homeostasis.

• It is responsible for producing proteins for the cell.

• It stores genetic information for the cell.

Develop a model to illustrate how different organ systems in a multicellular organism interact to perform a specific function, such as digestion.

• The digestive system works independently without interaction with other systems.

• The digestive system interacts with the circulatory system to distribute nutrients throughout the body.

• The digestive system only interacts with the nervous system.

• The digestive system is solely responsible for breaking down food.

What is the role of ribosomes in a cell?

• They store genetic information.

• They synthesize proteins.

• They produce energy.

• They transport substances across the cell membrane.

How does the cell cycle contribute to the growth and repair of tissues?

• By producing energy for the cell.

• By dividing cells to replace old or damaged cells.

• By storing nutrients for future use.

• By eliminating waste products from the cell.

Construct an explanation for how cancer can result from disruptions in the cell cycle.

• Cancer results from cells that stop dividing.

• Cancer results from uncontrolled cell division due to mutations in genes that regulate the cell cycle.

• Cancer is caused by cells that produce too much energy.

• Cancer is a result of cells that do not produce enough proteins.

Identify the process by which water molecules move across a semipermeable membrane.

• Active transport

• Osmosis

• Diffusion

• Endocytosis

How does the hierarchical organization of cells, tissues, and organs contribute to the function of a multicellular organism?

• It allows for the specialization of cells to perform specific functions.

• It prevents cells from interacting with each other.

• It limits the growth of the organism.

• It causes cells to lose their function over time.
