Evolution and the Diversity of LifeEcology
Which of these organelles leads to immediate cell death upon removal?
Golgi apparatus
endoplasmic reticulum
nucleus
mitochondria
Endoplasmic reticulum: Manufactures membranes & performs many other biosynthetic functions
Mitochondria: Sites of cellular respiration; energy transformer of the cell
Golgi apparatus: Finishes, sorts, and ships many products of the cell
Nucleus: Contains the genetic material
What will happen to a red blood cell that is 80% water if it is placed in a 40% salt solution?
It will prevent movement of water across the membrane.
It will prevent movement of salts across the membrane.
The cell will swell as water molecules accumulate inside it.
The cell will shrink as water molecules move out of it.
Water flows across a membrane from the side with a lesser concentration of solute (hypotonic) to the side with the greater concentration (hypertonic). No net osmosis occurs across membranes separating solutions of equal concentration (isotonic).
LEGEND:•Violet spheres = water molecules•Salt not graphically represented
Inside the cell:80% water, 20%
salt
Outside the cell:60% water, 40%
salt
Which term refers to the movement of molecules across a membrane that is against a concentration gradient?
osmosis
diffusion
dialysis
active transport
Active transport
The pumping of solutes against their gradients
Dialysis The process of separating molecules in solution by the difference in their rates of diffusion through a semipermeable membrane
Diffusion The spontaneous tendency of a substance to move down its concentration gradient from an area of more concentrated to less concentrated
Osmosis The diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane
Which releases the greatest amount of usable energy per molecule of glucose broken down?
lactic acid formation in a muscle cell
fermentation by a yeast cell
glycolysis in a liver cell
aerobic respiration in an amoeba
In the mitochondrial electron-transport chain, the final electron acceptor is
PO43-
CO2
H+
O2
Which is a correct statement about photosynthesis?
The color of light most used in photosynthesis is green.
O2 generated from photosynthesis comes from CO2.
O2 is given off during the dark reaction.
Products of the light reaction of photosynthesis include ATP and NADPH.
• The light reactions in the grana produce ATP and split H2O, releasing O2 and forming NADPH by transferring e- from H2O to NADP+.
• The Calvin cycle occurs in the stroma and uses ATP for energy and NADPH for reducing power to form sugar from CO2.
Respiration in green plants takes place
in the dark only.
in the light only.
intermittently both in the light and in the dark.
continuously in both the light and in the dark.
All of the following are homeostatic mechanisms except
Perspiration and evaporation of water from the skin lowers the body temperature.
Phagocytic cells in a rabbit detect and engulf bacteria.
A small cut in the fingers triggers the clotting reaction.
A frog deposits its egg in a pond.
CO2 is NOT carried in the blood
attached to hemoglobin.
as bicarbonate ions.
in red blood cells.
in white blood cells.
RBCs/erythrocytes: for O2 transport
WBCs/leukocytes: defend body vs. infectious disease & foreign materials
What is the function of the T cells (lymphocytes) of the immune system?
to destroy antibodies
to produce and release antibodies
to engulf cellular antigens
to move antibodies to sites of invasion of pathogens
NK cells Lysis of virally infected cells and tumour cells
Helper T cells Release cytokines and growth factors that regulate other immune cells
Cytotoxic T cells Lysis of virally infected cells, tumour cells and allografts
Gamma/delta T cells
Lysis of virally infected cells, tumour cells and allografts
B cells Secretion of antibodies
After a strenuous physical activity, a person continues to breathe heavily until
the food energy that was stored in the muscles is replaced.
lactic acid is consumed or converted into something else.
glucose breakdown begins.
accumulated carbon dioxide is removed from the muscles.
The kidney is a homeostatic organ because it
removes digested food from the body.
keeps tissue fluid at a constant level.
prevents the loss of urea in the blood.
regulates the ionic content of the blood.
osmoregulation
Water balance, salt regulation
excretion Forms urea-containing urine
Homeostasis: the steady-state physiological condition of the body
Which of these is a function of cutin in plants?
to provide a cue for stoma opening and closing
to direct chromosomes during meiosis
to transport minerals from the roots
to form a barrier to water loss on a leaf surface
What is the process that often results in the formation of three layers of cells?
gametogenesis
fertilization
blastulation
gastrulation
What is the process whereby a zygote is formed?
gastrulation
gametogenesis
blastulation
fertilization
Which term refers to the programmed cell movements within the embryo?
gametogenesis
fertilization
blastulation
gastrulation
blastulation Formation of a hollow ball of cells
fertilization Union of haploid gametes to form a zygote
gametogenesis
Process by which gametes are produced in the mammalian body
gastrulation
Rearrangement of cells of the blastula to form a 3-layered embryo w/ a primitive gut
The greatest risk in childbirth by an Rh-negative (Rh-) mother and Rh-positive (Rh+) father is caused by
the combined toxic effects of antigens produced by an Rh- fetus and Rh- mother.
antibodies produced by an Rh+ fetus.
Rh- antigens produced in the mother.
the production of antigens by an Rh+ fetus, which then elicits production of antibodies in the Rh- mother.
• The Rh factor is a RBC antigen
• A mother who is Rh- (no Rh factor) and a father who is Rh+ (w/ the Rh factor) may have a child who is Rh+
• If small amounts of fetal blood cross the placenta, the mother mounts a humoral response against the the Rh factor
• In subsequent pregnancies with an Rh+ fetus, the mother’s memory B cells will produce antibodies that will destroy the RBCs of the fetus.
Which bird is the most evolutionarily successful?
lays 9 eggs, 9 hatch, and 3 reproduce
lays 9 eggs, 8 hatch, and 2 reproduce
lays 7 eggs, 5 hatch, and 4 reproduce
lays 2 eggs, 2 hatch, and 2 reproduce
Which of the following statements about viruses is correct?
Like the protists, viruses contain organelles such as mitochondria and plastids.
Viruses are able to replicate and reproduce independently.
Viruses can produce enzymes within themselves.
Some viruses are composed of RNA molecules that are enclosed in a protein coat.
Which plant group produces flowers?
