    Which property of water refers to its ability to dissolve substances?

    • Solvency

    • Density

    • Surface tension

    • Capillary action

    Correct Answer
    A. Solvency
    Explanation
    Water's ability to dissolve substances is referred to as solvency. This property allows water to break down and disperse various solutes, making it a universal solvent. Due to its polar nature, water molecules can surround and separate ions or polar molecules, forming hydration shells. This solvency property is crucial for many biological and chemical processes, as it enables the transportation and chemical reactions of dissolved substances within living organisms. Solvency also plays a crucial role in weathering and erosion, as water can dissolve minerals and carry them away.

    Which type of solution will have the same solute concentration on both sides of cell

    • Isotonic

    • Hypertonic

    • Hydrotonic

    Correct Answer
    A. Isotonic
    Explanation
    An isotonic solution is one in which the solute concentration is equal on both sides of a cell. This means that there is no net movement of water across the cell membrane, resulting in the cell maintaining its normal shape and size. In contrast, a hypertonic solution has a higher solute concentration outside the cell, causing water to move out of the cell and potentially causing it to shrink. Hydrotonic is not a recognized scientific term and does not have a clear meaning in this context.

    What is difusion of water

    • Osmosis

    • Active transport

    • Facillitated diffusion

    Correct Answer
    A. Osmosis
    Explanation
    Osmosis is the correct answer because it is the process of water molecules moving from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. This movement occurs in order to equalize the concentration of solute on both sides of the membrane. Osmosis is a passive process and does not require energy. Active transport and facilitated diffusion, on the other hand, require energy and involve the movement of molecules against their concentration gradient.

    The correct order of stages in mitosis is

    • Anaphase, telophase, metaphase, prophase

    • Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase

    • Telophase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase

    Correct Answer
    A. Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
    Explanation
    During mitosis, the correct order of stages is prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. In prophase, the chromosomes condense and become visible, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and the spindle fibers start to form. In metaphase, the chromosomes align along the equator of the cell. In anaphase, the sister chromatids separate and move towards opposite poles of the cell. Finally, in telophase, the chromosomes reach the poles, the nuclear envelope reforms, and the spindle fibers disassemble.

    When molecules that contain polar covalent bonds are close to each other, they form _____ between adjacent molecules

    • Hydrogen bonds

    • Carbon bonds

    Correct Answer
    A. Hydrogen bonds
    Explanation
    When molecules that contain polar covalent bonds are close to each other, they form hydrogen bonds between adjacent molecules. This is because polar covalent bonds create partial positive and negative charges within the molecule. The positive end of one molecule is attracted to the negative end of another molecule, resulting in the formation of hydrogen bonds. These bonds are relatively weak compared to covalent or ionic bonds, but they play a crucial role in various biological and chemical processes, such as the structure of DNA and the properties of water.

    What is a monomer of a lipid

    • Amino acid

    • Glycerol or fatty acid

    Correct Answer
    A. Glycerol or fatty acid
    Explanation
    A monomer is the building block of a polymer. In the case of lipids, the monomers are either glycerol or fatty acids. Lipids are a diverse group of molecules that are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. They play various roles in the body, including energy storage, insulation, and forming cell membranes. Glycerol is a three-carbon alcohol, while fatty acids are long hydrocarbon chains with a carboxyl group at one end. When combined, glycerol and fatty acids form triglycerides, the most common type of lipid. Therefore, glycerol or fatty acid can be considered as the monomer of a lipid.

    Which molecule functions as an energy carrier?

    • ATP

    • Carb

    Correct Answer
    A. ATP
    Explanation
    ATP (adenosine triphosphate) functions as an energy carrier in cells. It is a high-energy molecule that stores and transports energy within cells for various cellular processes. ATP releases energy when its phosphate bonds are broken, converting it into ADP (adenosine diphosphate). This energy is then used by cells for activities such as muscle contraction, active transport, and synthesis of molecules. ATP is often referred to as the "energy currency" of the cell due to its crucial role in providing energy for cellular functions.

    Which means of transport needs energy

    • Active transport

    • Osmosis

    • Facillitated difussion

    Correct Answer
    A. Active transport
    Explanation
    Active transport is a process that requires energy to move molecules or ions against their concentration gradient across a cell membrane. Unlike passive transport mechanisms such as osmosis and facilitated diffusion, active transport involves the use of specialized proteins called pumps, which actively transport molecules or ions from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration. This energy requirement is necessary to maintain the concentration gradients required for various cellular processes, such as nutrient uptake and waste removal.

  • 19. 

    Difussion is the movement of molecules moving from

    • Concenttration to less concentration

    • Less concentration to concentration

    • Equilibrium to concentration

    Correct Answer
    A. Concenttration to less concentration
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "concentration to less concentration." Diffusion is the process by which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. This movement occurs spontaneously in an attempt to achieve equilibrium, where the concentration of molecules is equal throughout the system. Therefore, the molecules will naturally move from an area of higher concentration (concentration) to an area of lower concentration (less concentration) until equilibrium is reached.

    Which structure prevents a plant cell from burstins

    • Cell wall

    • Plasma membrane

    Correct Answer
    A. Cell wall
    Explanation
    The cell wall is a rigid structure that surrounds the plant cell and provides support and protection. It prevents the cell from bursting by maintaining its shape and preventing excessive expansion. The cell wall is made up of cellulose fibers, which are strong and resistant to stretching. This allows the cell to withstand high internal pressure without bursting. On the other hand, the plasma membrane, although also important for maintaining cell integrity, is a thin and flexible barrier that regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell, but it does not provide the same level of structural support as the cell wall.

    What organelle in a plant will fill with water and causes turgor pressure

    • Vacuole

    • Chloroplast

    • Ribosome

    Correct Answer
    A. Vacuole
    Explanation
    The vacuole is the correct answer because it is an organelle found in plant cells that stores water and other substances. When the vacuole fills with water, it creates turgor pressure, which is the pressure exerted against the cell wall. This pressure helps maintain the rigidity and shape of the plant cell. Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, while ribosomes are involved in protein synthesis, but neither of these organelles are directly responsible for filling with water and causing turgor pressure.

    When a plant cell loses water it undergoes

    • Plasmolysis

    • Crenation

    • Lysis

    Correct Answer
    A. Plasmolysis
    Explanation
    Plasmolysis is the correct answer because it refers to the process in which a plant cell loses water and the cell membrane pulls away from the cell wall. This occurs when the plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, causing water to move out of the cell. As a result, the cell becomes shrunken and the vacuole collapses. Crenation is the process of cell shrinkage in animal cells, while lysis refers to the bursting of a cell due to excessive water intake.

    Most atoms with 1 electron in the outermost shell tend to

    • Give up an electron to another atom that has a strong attraction to electrons

    • Take an electron from another atom so that it has an electron pair

    Correct Answer
    A. Give up an electron to another atom that has a strong attraction to electrons
    Explanation
    Atoms with 1 electron in the outermost shell tend to give up an electron to another atom that has a strong attraction to electrons. This is because atoms with 1 electron in the outermost shell are highly reactive and unstable. By giving up an electron to an atom with a strong attraction to electrons, they can achieve a more stable electron configuration by forming a bond. This process is known as ionization or the formation of ions.

    Cells are small because

    • Smalls cells are likely to have an adequate surface area for exchanging nutrients and wastes

    • Large cells are likely to have an adequate surface area for exchanging nutrients and wastes

    • Small cells metabolize faster than large cells

    Correct Answer
    A. Smalls cells are likely to have an adequate surface area for exchanging nutrients and wastes
    Explanation
    Small cells are likely to have an adequate surface area for exchanging nutrients and wastes. This is because as cells increase in size, their volume increases at a faster rate than their surface area. A larger surface area allows for more efficient exchange of nutrients and wastes with the external environment. Therefore, smaller cells are more likely to have a surface area-to-volume ratio that is suitable for their metabolic needs.

    What makes an animal cell burst

    • Water moving into cell

    • Water moving out of cell

    • Water moving in and out of cell

    Correct Answer
    A. Water moving into cell
    Explanation
    When water moves into an animal cell, it can cause the cell to burst or undergo a process called lysis. This is because the cell membrane is permeable to water, allowing it to pass through. When there is a higher concentration of solutes inside the cell compared to outside, water moves into the cell through a process called osmosis. As water enters the cell, the internal pressure increases, potentially causing the cell to swell and burst. This is particularly likely to occur in a hypotonic solution where the concentration of solutes outside the cell is lower than inside.

    When ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is used as an energy source, it releases energy by breaking the phosphate bonds. ATP consists of three phosphate groups, and when two of these phosphate bonds are broken, it forms ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and releases energy. This process is known as hydrolysis, where water is used to break the bonds. The energy released from ATP is then utilized by cells for various cellular activities such as muscle contraction, active transport, and synthesis of macromolecules.

    What produces pyruvate

    • Fermentation

    • Glycolysis

    • Citric acid cycle

    Correct Answer
    A. Glycolysis
    Explanation
    Glycolysis is the process that produces pyruvate. It is the initial step in cellular respiration, where glucose is broken down into pyruvate. This process occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell and does not require oxygen. Pyruvate is then further processed in the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation to produce energy in the form of ATP. Fermentation is an alternative pathway that can occur in the absence of oxygen, but it does not directly produce pyruvate. Therefore, the correct answer is glycolysis.

    The stage in which crossing over occurs is

    • Prophase 1

    • Prophase 2

    • Telophase 1

    • Telophase 2

    Correct Answer
    A. Prophase 1
    Explanation
    During prophase 1 of meiosis, crossing over occurs. This is the stage where homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange genetic material, leading to genetic variation. The process of crossing over involves the breaking and rejoining of DNA strands between non-sister chromatids. This exchange of genetic material results in the shuffling of genes, increasing genetic diversity. Therefore, prophase 1 is the correct stage where crossing over occurs.
