2.

Which molecule synthesized by plants is a major source of energy for cellular processes in both plants and animals?

a)

Wax

b)

Nucleic Acid

c)

Glucose

d)

Chlorophyll

3.

Carbohydrates are more easily metabolized than lipids. However, on a gram-for-gram basis lipids provide cells with more —

a)

nitrogen

b)

proteins

c)

structure

d)

energy

4.

Which statement describes the process of osmosis in an animal cell?

a)

Sugar molecules move across the plasma membrane until the cell has enough energy to grow in size and divide.

b)

Water molecules move across the plasma membrane until solute concentrations are equal on both sides of the membrane.

c)

Ions move across the plasma membrane until the inside of the cell has a higher concentration of positive charges.

d)

Enzymes move across the plasma membrane until the cell has completed metabolism.

5.

Enzymes are proteins that have a three-dimensional shape that is specic to a particular substrate. Environmental conditions can change the shape of the protein.

What is the most likely result if the shape of the enzyme changes?

a)

The substrate will change its shape to match the enzyme.

b)

The enzyme will no longer be able to catalyze the reaction with the substrate.

c)

The products made from the enzyme and the substrate will be changed.

d)

The enzyme will be able to bind to more diverse substrates than before.

6.

Which statements best compare a function of proteins and lipids in a human cell?

a)

Proteins provide energy for cellular processes. Lipids catalyze chemical reactions inside the cell.

b)

Proteins catalyze chemical reactions inside the cell.
Lipids allow for the transport of certain molecules into and out of the cell.

c)

Proteins allow for the transport of certain molecules into and out of the cell. Lipids store genetic information for cells.

d)

Proteins store genetic information for cells. Lipids provide energy for cellular processes.

7.

Materials are provided to students to build models of a prokaryotic cell, a eukaryotic cell, and a virus. The materials and the structures they represent are listed in the table shown above. Which material will students use in all three models?

a)

Yellow paper oval

b)

Gray paper hexagon

c)

Blue yarn

d)

Purple buttons

8.

A diagram of removing glucose from the blood by a fat cell is shown. Which statement best describes the role of insulin and glucose-transport proteins in this process?

a)
  1. They stimulate a response from white blood cells during glucose entry into the cell.

b)
  1. They keep the plasma membrane exible when glucose is removed from the blood

c)
  1. They help to maintain stable glucose levels both inside and outside the cell.

d)
  1. They utilize the excess energy the cell produces to create more glucose.

9.

Based on the data, this enzyme functions best at what temperature and pH? What is the role of an enzyme in a biological reaction?

a)

The enzyme functions best at 37C and a Ph of 6.8. The role of an enzyme is to speed up chemical reactions to lower activation energy.

b)

The enzyme functions best at 50C and a Ph of 10. The role of an enzyme is to lower the chemical reactions to lower activation energy.

c)

The enzyme functions best at 37C and a Ph of 6.8. The role of an enzyme is to lower the chemical reactions to speed up the activation energy.

d)

The enzyme functions best at 10C and a Ph of 2. The role of an enzyme is to speed up chemical reactions to lower activation energy.

10.

Which statement is best supported by the graph?

a)

An enzyme must be composed of multiple polypeptides, or subunits, to be active.

b)

An enzyme’s rate of activity increases with time until it becomes inactive.

c)

An enzyme functions best under specific temperature conditions.

d)

An enzyme works equally well in bacteria that are adapted to high temperatures and in eukaryotic cells such as human cells.

11.

Prokaryotic Cells could be labeled as

a)
