a)
DNA
b)
a hormone
c)

6.

Sometimes scientists must make assumptions about their subject of study because some aspect of it cannot be tested directly. In cases like this, scientists assume that the natural world operates in a consistent fashion. Which of the following would be the best example of a case in which scientists would have to make an assumption based on present experience?

a)

assuming that modern DNA is composed of the same nucleotide bases that made up DNA 1,000 years ago

b)

assuming that rainfall patterns in the northern United States are similar to rainfall patterns there 50 years ago

c)

assuming that trees in Brazil use the chlorophyll in their leaves for photosynthesis in the same way trees in Florida do

d)

assuming that the feathers on a dinosaur skeleton were used for flight and insulation as they are in modern birds

7.
Which equation best describes a method of anaerobic respiration?
a)
Glucose yields energy and lactic acid.
b)
Glucose and oxygen yield lactic acid and water.
c)
Glucose and lactic acid yield energy and carbon dioxide.
d)
Glucose and oxygen yield energy, carbon dioxide, and water.
8.
Which organelle is correctly paired with its specific function?
a)
cell membrane—storage of hereditary information
b)
chloroplast—transport of materials
c)
ribosome—synthesis of proteins
d)
vacuole—production of ATP
9.
If a scientist discovers a new synthetic chemical that appears to have many potential uses, why must society be extremely cautious after the new chemical is manufactured?
a)
The scientist's work may be flawed, and his work must be verified.
b)
The chemical may be too expensive to manufacture for the general population.
c)
Harmful problems for individuals and the environment may not be initially known.
d)
The best use may not be immediately obvious, and the chemical may be wasted.
10.
