All living things are made up of one or more cells. Individual cells process all the characteristics of life as stand alone units. Although all living things do not move, they all respond to stimuli from their environment. Two students engaged in the following arguments that plant cells exhibit characteristics of life when they respond to stimuli in their environment.


Student A: After a rain shower, the vacuole (which stores water) in plant cells becomes larger and exerts more pressure in the cell because the plant cell gained water.


Student B: If there is no rain, the vacuole (which stores water) in plant cells becomes smaller and exerts less pressure in the cell because the plant cell uses the reserved water.

Only the argument of Student A represents a plant’s response to stimuli in its environment.

b)

Only the argument of Student B represents a plant’s response to stimuli in its environment.

A child with cystic fibrosis has an mutated protein in his cells which does not behave normally. The mutated protein stops chloride ions from leaving the cells. This causes water to be retained in the cell creating thicker fluids. These fluids cause a buildup of mucus which leads to breathing problems. Which cell structure is most likely being negatively affected by the mutated protein?

a)

The mutated protein is most affecting the cell membrane because the protein is causing water to be stored in the cell and water storage is a function of the cell membrane.

b)

The mutated protein is most affecting the nucleus because the protein is preventing DNA production which is a function of the nucleus.

c)

The mutated protein is most affecting the cell membrane because the protein is not allowing certain materials to leave the cell which is a function of the cell membrane.

d)

The mutated protein is most affecting the ribosomes because the protein is causing the production of excess mucus which is a function of the ribosomes.
