$$[H^+] = 1 	imes 10$$^{-4}$$ 	ext{ M}$$

Question 5

Which of the following best describes the difference between qualitative and quantitative data?

Accepted Answer

Quantitative data is measured in numbers, while qualitative data is descriptive.

Question 6

In a biochemical experiment, which of the following is an example of a negative control?

Accepted Answer

A sample containing all reagents except the variable being tested.

Question 7

Which organelle is responsible for energy production in eukaryotic cells?

Accepted Answer

Mitochondrion

Question 8

A student observes a cell with a cell wall, central vacuole, and chloroplasts under a microscope. What type of cell is this most likely to be?

Accepted Answer

Plant cell

Question 9

Which of the following statements correctly compares prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Accepted Answer

Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, prokaryotic cells do not.

Question 10

Which solution is considered hypertonic relative to a cell?

Accepted Answer

A solution with a higher solute concentration than the cell.

Question 11

If a plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, what will happen to the cell?

Accepted Answer

The cell will gain water and become turgid.

Question 12

Which of the following best describes the function of aquaporins?

Accepted Answer

They facilitate the movement of water across cell membranes.

Question 13

Question 14

Which of the following is NOT a function of the contractile vacuole in Paramecium?

Accepted Answer

Digesting food particles.

Question 15

Which process describes the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration?

Accepted Answer

Diffusion

Question 16

Which of the following statements about endocytosis and exocytosis is correct?

Accepted Answer

Endocytosis brings substances into the cell, exocytosis moves them out.

Question 17

A buffer solution is used in a biochemical experiment. What is the main function of a buffer?

Accepted Answer

To maintain a stable pH by neutralizing added acids or bases.

Question 18

Which of the following is a correct statement about the relationship between pH and $$[OH^-] in a $$solution?

Accepted Answer

As pH increases, $$[OH^-]$$ increases.

Question 19

Which of the following is a correct comparison between cytoplasm and cytosol?

Accepted Answer

Cytosol is the fluid portion of the cytoplasm, excluding organelles.

Question 20

A student is asked to design an experiment to test the effect of temperature on enzyme activity. Which of the following is the best example of a prediction for this experiment?

Accepted Answer

If the temperature increases, then enzyme activity will increase up to an optimal point and then decrease.
