Which statement BEST describes an effect of the low density of frozen water in a lake?
When water freezes, it contracts, decreasing the water level in a lake.
Water in a lake freezes from the bottom up, killing most aquatic organisms.
When water in a lake freezes, it floats, providing insulation for organisms below.
Water removes thermal energy from land around the lake, causing the lake to freeze.
Carbohydrates and proteins are two types of macromolecules. Which functional characteristic of proteins distinguishes them from carbohydrates?
Large amount of stored information
Ability to catalyze biochemical reactions
Efficient storage of usable chemical energy
Tendency to make cell membranes hydrophobic
A protein in a cell membrane changed its shape to move sodium and potassium ions against their concentration gradients. Which molecule was MOST LIKELY used by the protein as an energy source?
ATP
ADP
Catalase
Amylase
Carbon dioxide and oxygen are molecules that can move freely across a plasma membrane. What determines the direction that carbon dioxide and oxygen molecules move?
Orientation of cholesterol in the plasma membrane.
Concentration gradient across the plasma membrane.
Configuration of phospholipids in the plasma membrane.
Location of receptors on the surface of the plasma membrane.
Which example is an activity that a fish MOST LIKELY uses to maintain homeostasis within it body?
Using camouflage to avoid predators.
Feeding at night to regulate body temperature.
Moving to deeper water to regulate metabolic wastes.
Exchanging gases through its gills to regulate oxygen levels.
Mitosis and meiosis are processes by which animal and plant cells divide. Which statement best describes a difference between mitosis and meiosis?
Meiosis is a multi-step process.
Mitosis occurs only in eukaryotic cells.
Meiosis is used in the repair of an organism.
Mitosis produces genetically identical daughter cells.
Which event most likely occurs next in mitosis?
The chromatin condenses.
The nuclear envelope dissolves.
The chromosomes double in number.
The cell membrane pinches inward to divide the cytoplasm.
A scientist observes that a certain trait is determined by a single allele. An organism inherited one version of the trait from one parent and another version from the other parent. Both versions of the trait are expressed in the phenotype of the offspring. Which pattern of inheritance best classifies the observed trait?
dominance
sex-linkage
co-dominance
incomplete dominance

You body sweats to help prevent you from overheating. How does water regulate temperature?
it lets heat pass through it
it absorbs a lot of heat, then decreases in temperature
it absorbs a lot of heat, but only increases a little in temperature
heat is afraid of water and avoids it
Water is polar. What does that mean?
it is a molecule with opposite charges on opposite ends
it is a molecule with no charge
it is a molecule with identical charges on opposite ends
it is a molecule with too many protons
Water sticks well to many materials. What term relates to this property of water?
cohesion
adhesion
density
surface tension
What is the term for water's ability to defy gravity and climb up a tube?
Capillary Action

Universal Solvent
Magic
Why does ice float?
water expands when it freezes, making ice less dense than water
water compacts when it freezes, making ice more dense than water
hydrogen bonds in water push the ice to the surface
ice is afraid of water, and avoids it
