Question 4

A solution has a pH of 5. What is the hydrogen ion concentration $$[H^+] in $$moles per liter? (Use $$[H^+] = 10$$^{-pH}$$)

Accepted Answer

$$[H^+] = 10$$^{-5}$$

Question 5

Which of the following best explains why water is an effective solvent in biological systems?

Accepted Answer

Water is polar, allowing it to dissolve ionic and polar substances.

Question 6

Which of the following is the correct sequence of structural organization in the human body, from simplest to most complex?

Accepted Answer

Chemical → Cellular → Tissue → Organ → System → Organism

Question 7

A red blood cell is placed in a hypotonic solution. What will happen to the cell, and why?

Accepted Answer

It will swell and possibly burst because water moves into the cell by osmosis.

Question 8

Which of the following best describes the role of phospholipids in the plasma membrane?

Accepted Answer

Digestive system; impaired nutrient absorption

Question 12

Which of the following best describes facilitated diffusion across the plasma membrane?

Accepted Answer

Question 13

Which type of chemical bond is primarily responsible for the secondary structure of proteins?

Accepted Answer

Hydrogen bonds

Question 14

Which membrane lines body cavities that do NOT open to the exterior and secretes a lubricating fluid?

Accepted Answer

Serous membrane

Question 15

A person with a blood pH of 7.1 is experiencing acidosis. Which of the following best explains the role of buffers in this situation?

Accepted Answer
