5.

Some problems with the digestive system make it very difficult for the body to digest enough food. Why would it be harder to exercise when you have a digestion problem like this?

6.

In order for athletes to run, bike, or hike long distances, more oxygen needs to be delivered to their cells. Athletes also need energy from food. Foods high in carbohydrates, such as sugar, provide this energy when the sugar and oxygen react to produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy during cellular respiration. The chemical reaction for this process is modeled below. Identify the molecule that is formed that provides the cell with usable energy when a sugar molecule is rearranged during cellular respiration.

a)

Glucose

b)

Oxygen

c)

Carbon dioxide

d)

ATP

7.

Three living organisms are labeled in the diagram below. What do the rabbit, fungus, and tree have in common?

a)

They are all producers.

b)

They all belong to the same kingdom.

c)

They are all omnivores.

d)

They are all multicellular organisms.

8.

A biologist is looking at an animal cell under a microscope, and noticed there is something wrong with the way it is functioning. It is not allowing water into the cell. Look at the diagram below and identify the location in the cell where this problem is most likely occurring.

a)

Location A

b)

Location B

c)

Location C

d)

Location D

9.

A student viewing a cell with a microscope observes a cell wall, a cell membrane, and a nucleus. The presence of these structures indicates that they are looking at a cell from a:

a)

rabbit

b)

carrot

c)

worm

d)

fly

10.

What was Gerald’s hypothesis? Use the information and chart below and your knowledge of science to answer this question.

a)

Gerald thinks that more prokaryotic organisms live on the classroom door handle.

b)

Gerald thinks that they will see a yellowish substance on each petri dish.

c)

Gerald thinks that eukaryotic organisms live on the door handle.

d)

Gerald thinks that they will see a bluish substance on each petri dish.

11.

Was Gerald’s hypothesis correct? Yes or No. Use the information and chart below and your knowledge of science to answer this question.

a)

Yes, Gerald’s hypothesis was correct.

b)

No, Gerald’s hypothesis was not correct.

c)

There is no way of knowing if Gerald’s hypothesis was correct or incorrect, with the information given.

12.

Which of the following can be considered as a piece of evidence that supports Gerald’s hypothesis?

a)

The cells that made up the yellow dots in Sample B had DNA clumped up in the cytoplasm.

b)

The cells that made up the yellow dots in Sample A had its DNA held in a nucleus.

c)

There were more dots in sample A’s dish.

d)

There were more dots in Sample B’s dish.

13.

The model below represents cellular respiration taking place in an organelle within a body cell. Which organelle is represented in the model and is correctly paired with its function for the cell as a whole?

a)

nucleus; control center of the cell

b)

chloroplast; captures energy to make food

c)

mitochondria; releases energy from food

d)

cell membrane; allows food to enter and wastes to leave the cell

14.

Cellular Respiration is the process by which the mitochondria creates energy, using glucose and oxygen. Mr. Graham has sleep apnea, which means that while he sleeps he can sometimes stop breathing. Because of this, less oxygen will enter his respiratory system and his cells will receive less oxygen. Which of the following symptoms could be an outcome of this cellular function issue?

a)

Mr. Graham is hyper often.

b)

Mr. Graham has trouble breathing while exercising.

c)

Mr. Graham is tired often.

d)

Mr. Graham is never tired.

15.

Fernando is looking at a cell under a microscope, and he thinks it is a plant cell. Which of the following questions could he ask to determine whether or not it is a plant cell?

a)

Does the cell have organelles that make proteins?

b)

Does the cell have a gel-like substance that holds the organelles in place?

c)

Does the cell have an organelle that carries out photosynthesis?

d)

Does the cell have an outer membrane that monitors what enters and exits the cell?

16.

What word means “the relatively constant state maintained by the body”?

a)

cellular respiration

b)

photosynthesis

c)

inhalation

homeostasis

17.
