The image below represents a cell with a semipermeable membrane. The process of osmosis would explain the net movement of water into a cell if the initial percentage of

• protein was 35% inside the cell and 30% outside the cell.

• water was 95% inside the cell and 90% outside the cell.

• water was 90% inside the cell and 95% outside the cell

• protein was 30% inside the cell and 35% outside the cell.

Answer explanation

The correct choice is water was 90% inside the cell and 95% outside the cell because osmosis involves the movement of water from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.

Which of the following is correct about the events of the cell cycle?

• Little happens during the G₁ and G₂ phases of the cell cycle.

• DNA replicates during the S phase of interphase.

• Mitosis is usually the longest phase of the cell cycle when the cell is growing.

• Interphase consists of G₁, S, G2 phase and mitosis

Answer explanation

The correct statement is that DNA replicates during the S phase of interphase.

A trait that makes an organism better suited for their environment.

• Analagous structure

• Homologous structure

• Vestigial structure

• Adaptation

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'Adaptation' because it refers to a trait that helps an organism better survive in its environment.

A structure that is no longer used by an organism. Remnants of what ancestors had.

• Analagous structure

• Homologous structure

• Vestigial structure

• Adaptation

Answer explanation

A vestigial structure is a structure that is no longer used by an organism and is remnants of what ancestors had.

Structures that indicate shared ancestry ; look similar anatomically

• Analagous structure

• Homologous structure

• Vestigial structure

• Adaptation

Answer explanation

Homologous structures indicate shared ancestry and look similar anatomically, making them the correct choice in this context.

Structures that do not indicate shared ancestry ; structures do same functions

• Analagous structure

• Homologous structure

• Vestigial structure

• Adaptation

Answer explanation

Analagous structures are those that do not indicate shared ancestry but perform the same functions.

The stage in Interphase where DNA is replicated before it divides.

• Cancer

• Cell Cycle/Mitosis

• Meiosis

• S Phase

Answer explanation

The S Phase is the stage in Interphase where DNA is replicated before cell division, making it the correct choice.

A type of cell division where a cell divides into two identical cells.

• Cancer

• Mitosis

• Meiosis

• S Phase

Answer explanation

Mitosis is the type of cell division where a cell divides into two identical cells, making it the correct choice.

Type of cell division that results in 4 genetically different cells.

• Cancer

• Cell Cycle/Mitosis

• Meiosis

• S Phase

Answer explanation

Meiosis is the type of cell division that results in 4 genetically different cells, making it the correct choice in this scenario.

• Xylem

• Phloem

• Carpel/Pistil

• Stamen

Answer explanation
