Microscopy,
Name ___________________________________________ Date ________________ Period __________
Directions: This test is designed to let your teacher know how much information you have learned over the past few weeks, and to allow you to gauge this as well. Remember to think about your notes, and all the examples and demonstrations that we’ve done in class. Read each question carefully and completely before making your response, and make sure that whatever you write answers every part of the question. Do not leave any blank questions or naked numbers. Relax, good luck, and enjoy!
0. What pet should we get as a class, and what should we name it?
1. What is the main purpose of a carbohydrate?A. Quick Energy B. Insulation C. Weight D. Information _________
2. What is the only molecule that we’ve studied that contains phosphorous?A. Lipid B. Amino Acid C. Nucleotide D. Proline _________
3. What is the process used to hook together monomers into a polymer?A. Exothermic reaction B. Condensation Synthesis C. Glycolysis D. Hemisolvent _________
4. In the space below, draw a hydrogen bond in the appropriate place.
5. With what other atoms might hydrogen form a hydrogen bond?
6. If Sir Henry Florence-St. Claire’s microscope has an eyepiece with 10x magnification, and a high power objective of 43x, what is the total magnification of his ‘scope under high power? Show how you got your answer in the space below.
7. An ionic bond is the strongest chemical bond. What does it involve?A. Sharing electrons between three atoms to increase the strength.B. Swapping electrons with other atomsC. Completely transferring electrons from one atom to another.D. Moving protons to create a positive charge. _________
H H
OH H
O
8. Boron is element number five on the periodic table, so it’s atomic number is five. How many protons does boron have?
9. How many electrons does boron have in its first shell? How many does it have in its second?
10. How many more electrons does boron need to have a full valence shell of electrons?
For questions 11 through 16, place a check under “GS” if the item is good science, and put one under “BS” if the item is bad science.
11. Having expectations about the result _________ _________
12. Having many variables _________ _________
13. Having many repetitions _________ _________
14. Consulting a dependable expert _________ _________
15. Using correlations to prove a conclusion _________ _________
16. Publishing your results so others can critique them _________ _________
17. What is one thing that you should NEVER use while viewing a slide under high power?
18. Which row contains a correct pairing of a macromolecule and its building blocks?
Row Building Blocks Macromolecule
A glucose molecules DNA B simple sugars lipid C amino acids protein D nucleotides starch _________
19. Carlos has a molecular model kit. He wants to join together many glucose molecules, but can’t remember what he can call the finished product. What is a string of glucoses called?A. PolysaccharideB. Largo e piu dolceC. TriglycerideD. Protein _________
GS BS
20. If a reaction releases energy, it is calledA. Excommunicated B. Exothermic C. Excited D. Wasteful _________
21. In the space below, draw an atom of carbon. Carbon’s atomic number is 6. Include electrons, protons, and neutrons, as well as the appropriate electron shells.
22. What is the most common solvent in the human body?

24. The molecule below is most likelyA. A nucleic acid B. A lipid C. A protein D. A carbohydrate _________
25. What is the molecule pictured above?A. Nucleic acid B. Lipid C. Protein D. Carbohydrate _________
26. Researchers performing a well-designed experiment should base their conclusions onA. the hypothesis of the experimentB. data from repeated trials of the experimentC. a small sample size to insure a reliable outcome of the experimentD. results predicted before performing the experiment _________
27. Describe how a polymer can be formed from monomers. You may write, draw, or both.
28. Sally measured the pH of the water from her faucet, and finds that it is 3. Why should this worry her?
29. Sally brings a small sample of the water into her bio class for some tests. What could her teacher add to the water to make sure that the pH of the sample does not change during the tests?
30. In plants, monosaccharides are least likely to beA. linked together to form proteinsB. broken down into carbon dioxide and waterC. used as a source of energyD. stored in the form of starch molecules _________
31. In the space below, using one or more complete and well-structured paragraphs, explain why oil and water will not readily combine. Also explain why the addition of a detergent such as soap will allow the two to mix. Because you know that cell membranes are made out of lipids and are surrounded by water, make a hypothesis about what would happen if soap was added to a cell membrane. You may wish to include some of the following terms in your response:
Polar Non-polarAmphipathic Soap
