In order to carry out cellular respiration, an animal cell must obtain
A)carbon dioxide and water
B)glucose and oxygen
C)water and oxygen
D)food and water
2
As cells grow, they reach a volume at which they must
A)reduce their surface area in order to provide nutrients efficiently
B)use cells of other organisms to assist them in obtaining nutrients
C)increase the rate of diffusion of nutrients into the cell
D)undergo mitosis
3
An organism that is made of many cells and obtains its nutrients by eating other organisms is probably a/an
A)animal
B)plant
C)fungus
D)protist
4
In order to carry out the process of mitosis, a plant cell must
A)obtain nutrients from other plant cells in order to protect the chloroplasts
B)copy the chromosomes and build organelles required to separate them
C)create sufficient ATP beforehand since it can't photosynthesize while dividing
D)store enough glucose to keep the chromosomes alive while the cell is dividing
5
When a molecule of oxygen moves from the inside of a baggie where its concentration is 35 % to the air where its concentration is 21 %, the process most likely involved is
A)osmosis
B)active transport
C)diffusion
D)exocytosis
6
A baggie is permeable to glucose. A baggie containing 5 % glucose is put into a beaker of pure water at 21 °C. After 15.4 minutes, the baggie loses 1.00 g of glucose. The same experiment is repeated at 45 °C. The time required for 1.00 g of glucose to leave the baggie will be
A)less
B)the same
C)more
D)difficult to measure
7
In a plant leaf during the daytime, water moves from the veins in the leaf into the palisade cells. The process most likely responsible for this movement is
A)diffusion
B)active transport
C)endocytosis
D)osmosis
8
A baggie full of distilled water is placed into a beaker of 10 % glucose solution. You can speed up the rate of osmosis by
A)decreasing the size of the water molecules
B)dissolving some salt in the water in the baggie
C)increasing the concentration of glucose outside the baggie
D)Squeezing the beaker
9
When oxygen moves into an animal cell, the first organelle it must interact with is the
A)nucleus
B)cytoplasm
C)mitochondria
D)cell membrane
10
When carbon dioxide enters a plant cell, the first organelle it must interact with is the
A)cell wall
B)chloroplast
C)cell membrane
D)cytoplasm
